When choosing among the most common parking sign materials, buyers prefer steel and aluminum as the cheapest and most reliable options.
While the first material that comes to mind when mentioning the word “metal” is iron, manufacturers don't use it for parking signs for its vulnerability. Despite the fact that iron is one of the most affordable materials, it is easy to get rusted which is a significant drawback. In the past, steel was used to prevent rust on iron signs but steel is quite heavy comparing to iron, which is less suitable for posting and installing. Aluminum is three times lighter than steel which allows using aluminum signs of different thicknesses.
​
Common Types of Metal Signage for Your Parking Lot
 
When thinking which metal signs are required to be placed in or around your parking lot, take into consideration that it depends on the number of sections and categories of drivers.  Customers are offered a wide variety of pre-designed signs as well as possible to order metal signs for any specific use. The most common signs installed in the parking lots are stop signs, No Parking sign, fire lane sign and others. 

​Parking sign manufacturers produce a huge number of signs based on the type of material, its thicknesses, and other parameters. For today, metal parking signs are known to be the most popular ones because of their durability. 
 
When talking about temporary parking signs, heavy-duty paper and plastic signs can be installed during short events. Heavy-duty paper signs are considered disposable and environment-friendly being expected to last from 1 day to 2 weeks. Plastic parking signs are more durable than paper, they don't bend or chip being able to withstand lower temperatures.   This is a perfect material for illuminated signs with a high-tech look. In addition, temporary parking signs are a way cheaper than metal though when it comes to permanent usage, metal is the most appropriate choice.  

Sometimes parking lot seems to be a quite disorganized space. A parking lot usually has many sections for different categories of drivers. For this reason, there is a need to point out each of them in which space or section drivers can and cannot park.

​A variety of parking signs can be installed around the parking area. For this, parking lot operators should find out which signs are the most common and which are required to be installed in the parking lots.  

​Parking Lot Safety - Metal Signs Help Prevent Potential Hazards
 
In order to provide parking lot safety, one should install only parking signs made of long-lasting materials able to withstand any weather conditions. There are some specific requirements for metal signage. As most of the parking signs have a rectangular shape, they must go with the rounded corners. Since parking signs are often installed on fences or walls, the mounting holes should be drilled in advance.
 
The size and thickness of the metal parking signs matter as well. For outdoor use, when signs are exposed to seasonally high winds and heat, sturdy and weather-resistant signs should be used. The thicker and larger metal panel, the less likely the sign will bend under the wind's pressure or when attached to the frame.
 
One more requirement is the reflectance of a sign, that is, how dull or bright the sign is during the day- or night time. To be seen at night, a parking sign has to be covered with a reflective film. While most of the metal parking signs are reflective, paper and plastic cannot be covered with a film. One should take into account that sometimes signs are seen at an angle, and specific types of cars observe signs at different angles.

Reasons why Wheel Stops Are Needed
 

• Warning and stopping drivers from causing structural damages installed in the lot
• Stopping improper vehicle encroachment in areas of pedestrian pathways
• Demarcating parking areas and loading zones
• Preventing collisions between vehicles, vehicles, and walls

​Wheel Stops Dimensions

• Have a contrasting color from the surrounding environment.
• Adjacent wheel stops should be appropriately positioned to maintain safe pedestrian passage.
• Wheel stops come in various sizes, and individual sections can be merged to make any required length. According to the standards, wheel stops should be between 0.09-0.1 m in height and 1.650-1.700 m in width.
• For standard parking space- wheel stop should be 3 yards wide and 6 yards long
• Parking spaces within enclosed garages should be 3.3 yards wide and 6.3 yards long
• Compact parking space, wheel stops should be 2.6 yards wide and 5.3 yards long

 
Types of wheel stops

The Purpose Of A Speed Bump
 
The purpose of speed bump is to lower the speed of all kinds of vehicles and ensure that they are moving at lower speeds relative to each other in the parking lot. Speed bumps come in all shapes and widths thus ensuring safety for all kinds of vehicles.
​
Parking spaces are mostly congested so they need some appropriate space and tools to maintain the speed of vehicles uniformly. 
 
Why Speed Bumps Are Important
 

• Speed bumps slow down the speed of vehicles by 2-5 MPH thus proving all of the drivers more time to evaluate the traffic situation in congested parking spaces.
• Speed bumps are extremely important so that vehicles maintain an adequate space with respect to the next vehicle.
• Speed bumps are mostly used to maintain traffic discipline in private parking spaces to ensure the safety of pedestrians walking inside the parking lots.
• Speed bumps also ensure the safety of all the vehicles parked inside the parking lot and prevent crimes in a more effective way.  

​
Speed Bumps Make Parking Lots Safer
 
The speed bumps are installed at adequate spaces in the parking lot to maintain equilibrium in cars entering and leaving the parking lot.

Speed bumps are installed in corners and adequate positions to ensure safety for vehicles coming from all directions. They halt slipping and drifting vehicles to an appropriate speed and provide enough room for all the vehicles.

Sometimes, speed bumps are just painted instead of installation to make all the drivers aware of their safety.
​
Speed bump installation is done in a way that hole is drilled into the road and speed bumps are fitted into them using nut bolts. Rubber speed bumps are getting more common as they provide safe pass way to vehicles of all kinds and they are durable and reflective as well.

​You should consider pavement markings as a positive investment in your parking lot as they are for the safety and reliability of your customers seeking safe place for their cars. 
 
How Do Pavement Markings Keep People Safe In Your Parking Lot?
 
Every driver demands guidance when on a road or inside the parking lot. Pavement markings are marked to keep all the vehicles in proper line and length inside the parking lot. Pavement markings make the parking space look beautiful and clients to understand that you value the parking lot for your customers. Pavement markings help the small vehicles to prevent themselves from other big vehicles and make the most suitable parking decision inside the parking lots. Wide parking spaces must contain pavement markings for the parking lot otherwise it will create lot of confusion for the drivers. Pavement markings also help to define the proper space and safety for pedestrians. You may want to customize the flow of traffic in your parking lot according to your own choice. That is where the pavement markings are helpful to keep the vehicles moving in a specific direction. Vehicles need to be strictly aligned with respect to other vehicles in order for safer mobility of all the vehicles. 
 
What Are The Standard Colors For Pavement Markings?  
 
Yellow pavement markings are used to identify the route for the cars traveling in the opposite direction. Even the single pavement marking represents a lot of different concepts that must be understood by all the drivers. They are used to indicate the direction, possible routes of travel and the pathways that are prohibited. Red markings are used to prohibit and warn entry into certain route. They are used to be accessed by particular vehicles only and are subjected to no entry if you want to a lot certain parking compartments to the specific vehicles then consider using red pavement markings. White lines are very less used in the parking lots as they break the barrier of two-directional flow and are used to indicate that you can change the lane if you require doing so. Pavement markings are useful to direct the flow of traffic and allow mismanagement in case of busy parking lot. Their board should be placed outside the parking lot educating the people about different pavement markings.  

​How Often Should I Refresh The Pavement Markings On My Parking Lot?
 
Pavement markings should be refreshed as soon as the color starts to fade away. Prominent and fresh pavement markings are very attractive and they create a real impact on the way people drive their cars in your parking lot. Pavement markings should be refreshed every 2-3 months. It can vary depending on the weather conditions and the quality of paint used of pavement markings. The flow of traffic inside the parking lot should be observed and different line striping should be used according to the complications that the drivers face in the parking lot. Services of parking lot maintenance companies should be acquired to properly mark and refresh the pavement markings. Parking space without pavement markings is like double road without any parking lines to differentiate the two lanes. The drivers should be asked to lower speed when they enter the parking lot and use pavement markings to determine their direction appropriately. Pavement markings cover the surface area of the parking floor thus prevents it from acquiring permanent stains that cannot be removed by power washing. Pavement markings save up lot of time for your customers and they would not need to worry about placing their car in an appropriate way.

The ADA as passed in 1990 by the American Congress gave people living with disabilities protection from inequity as a result of their disabilities. ADA now expects employers to make sure their handicap stalls are ADA compliant.  
The existing ADA handicap stall compliance standards are delineated in the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, making all the available physical construction and alterations subjected to these requirements now.  
Here are a number of the major points related to ADA-compliant parking lots. 
 

• Accessible Parking - This should be sited at the shortest suitable road to the building. This may not automatically be the parking spaces physically nearest to the building, but spaces that provide the easiest access to the entrance of the building. ​

• Fewer than 25 Spaces Parking Lot – The lot must be accessible, even if it has one space only. In addition, one more accessible space is necessary for each of the additional 25 spaces. 

• 501 to 1,000 Spaces Lots – For these types of lots, accessible spaces should make up 2% of the whole sum or total. 

​ 

• Lots that have 1,001 Spaces or More - 20 spaces are required to be accessible, in addition to one for every 100 spaces (or part of 100 spaces) that is more than 1,000. These numbers are established lot by lot. Therefore, each lot is considered individually, even if three separate parking lots are available on one site. 

• Van Accessible Stalls – ADA states that a minimum of one in every six accessible stalls must be van accessible. 

• A van-accessible Space – This should be 8 feet wide and adjacent to an 8-foot access aisle for a total of 16 feet. The accessible space for a van must be at a least 8 feet wide, measured from the middle of each boundary stripe.  

​

•  The Shortest Accessible Route - There must be accessible spaces located on the shortest accessible route between a parking and the building it is serving. ​

• Access Aisles – An adjacent access aisle of at least 5 feet wide will serve accessible stalls. Two spaces can be used for a common access aisle except for angled van accessible stalls that need their own access aisle on the right side of the vehicle. 

 

• Ground or Floor Surface – In this case, the access aisles must be sited at the level with the parking spaces they are serving. Modifications in levels are not allowed. An exception to this rule is for slopes that are not steeper than 1:48, which shall be allowed at the aisles and stalls. This is a fairly common violation.  

 

• Accessible Stall Dimensions – Standard van-accessible stalls must be at least 11 feet wide or at least 8 feet wide with an 8-foot wide access aisle, while accessible stalls must be at least 8 feet wide for it to be ADA compliant. 

 

• Identification Signs - Identification signs for parking space shall consist of International Symbol Accessibility. In order words, signs identifying van parking spaces shall have “Van Accessible” as its designation. These signs shall be 60 inches minimum higher than the finish floor or ground surface, to be measured to the base of the sign.  

 

• Vertical Clearance – A vertical clearance of a minimum of 98 inches must be provided by parking spaces for access aisles, vans, and vehicular routes serving them. Van-accessible stalls are permitted to be grouped together on the ground floor instead of through all the floors. This gives room for lesser vertical clearance and shallower floor to floor heights at the upper floors. 

 

• Van Accessible Stalls – ADA stated that one-sixth of all accessible stalls must be van accessible. 

 

• Accessible Stall Dimensions – Standard van-accessible stalls must be at least 11 feet wide or at least 8 feet wide with an 8-foot wide access aisle, while accessible stalls must be at least 8 feet wide for it to be ADA compliant. 

 

We provide parking lot striping in the following cities as well:

• Norman, Oklahoma Parking Lot Striping

​Traffic Markings or Parking Lot Striping is done to get an organized flow of traffic and mark the parking stalls properly to avoid any rush. To have effective and easily identifiable parking strips, bright and durable paints and colors are used. Line striping is done for stalls; arrows are for entrances, exits, and for the directional flow on parking lots. Space for handicap parking is allotted separately, and lines for fire lane areas are also required to mark clearly. Usually, water-based acrylic traffic paints are used to get the striping done. There are professional line striping contractors available to get the parking lot striping done correctly. 

​When looking for the paint for your OKC parking lot striping, you will see a lot of options available in the market. There are water-based acrylics, solvent based alkyd resin paints, solvent based chlorinated rubber, and several other options as well. So far the most commonly used paint is the water-based acrylic. This paint is preferred since it gives excellent durability, high brightness, and visibility, and are also environmentally friendly as compared to other paints. Water-based acrylic colors are not only preferred for parking lots, but various roads and highways markings are also done using the same kind of paint. 

​The parking line striping follows specific dimensions for straight and angled parking. Throughout the state, the same dimensions are followed. Depending on the total area which is available to create a parking lot, the markings and angles can be chosen. Usually, in the US, these dimensions are decided to accommodate a parking space comprising an area of 9’ x 18’ with reasonable space for vehicles to move in and out of the area. The ADA Act in America has a compulsion to have a proper amount of handicapped-accessible parking stalls irrespective of the size of the parking lot. The parking stalls for disabled people are marked differently than the usual parking stalls and are painted with white and blue colors. A metal handicap sign is also required to be installed at each handicapped parking stall. Typically in a normal parking lot of 25 stalls, one should be for handicap.
