​Handicap Parking Spaces for Your Parking Lot
Among users of the parking lot, certain spaces are designated for those with disabilities. It is required by the ADA for all parking lots to have handicapped parking spots.
ADA compliance is essential for keeping your parking lot functional and successful. If you need to stripe or re-stripe your parking lot spaces, you have to take into account the ADA Standards for Accessible Design which is required by law for every state.
 
ADA Compliant Parking Lot Striping
In order to meet ADA requirements, accessible parking spaces have to be visible, vibrant, and durable. A parking lot stencil professionals’ duty is to be familiar with ADA compliant parking lot stenciling and painting requirements.
Parking lot striping is relatively inexpensive, that's why compliance is considered quite achievable for most business owners. ADA compliant parking lots include the following elements but are not limited to:
 

• Accessible Parking Space Signage
• Visible Parking Spaces with Handicapped Logo
• Shortest Possible Access Route to Facility 
• Ramp at Entrance if Needed 

​
Handicap Parking Signs Requirements
 
Besides the ADA parking striping, signs with the international symbol of accessibility must be posted on the parking spaces. To be visible to the driver, signs should be 60 inches above the surface. There is quite a complicated issue concerning a difference between the posted sign and the painted symbol. Imagine a situation when the symbol is painted but there is no signage. What rule should the drivers follow? The thing is that a painted symbol doesn't indicate a handicap space because a sign is the required marker. On the other hand, sign without a symbol does not allow handicapped drivers to use these spaces. Though ADA parking space requirements may differ in some states, both sign and symbol are obligatory to install in every parking lot. 
 
The accessibility sign should be a 40-inch blue square with a white international accessibility symbol inside. The sign looks in a similar way as handicap striping. It can contain different inscriptions including ”Handicapped parking”, “Reserved parking”, “Parking only”, “Van-accessible” and others. This size and shape are not obligatory as manufacturers can produce specific sizes and shapes if needed. Also, logo and wording can be used with any material including aluminum, steel and other.

• ​​Pavement Markings  For Your Parking Lot

 
Road Signs are one of the most common metal signs that we can see on the road. These signs guide the drivers at certain traffic laws that you must abide by to avoid accidents. There are also signs that serve as indicators for a particular place or the name of the road itself or even danger signs that you need to look out for. 
 
Parking areas also have many different kinds of signs.  You will see custom stencils on the parking lot for reserved parking, loading zones, and many others, as well as metal signs directing traffic to proper locations.  
 
These markings serve as a guide for the users of the parking to ensure that they are going the right way to avoid a collision. This also alerts them what is ahead and be able to adjust in advance. 

• How Do Pavement Markings Keep People Safe In Your parking Lot? 

 
Believe it or not, these parking lot paint markings play a big role in the safety of not only the vehicles inside the parking space but also the pedestrians within the vicinity. First, it directs the traffic flow to be able to avoid collision. Then, it can point in the right direction where you are supposed to go. This is a very important role of the markings to avoid confusion and cause delays to the limited space in the parking area 
 
The markings can also be a way to be able to determine if the parking area is restricted or not. Remember that there are special spaces for the disabled, as well as for emergency vehicles and markings on the pavement could allow you to properly see and avoid that certain spot. 
 
Lines on the pavements also indicates the clearance possible for a car. This serves as a guide for those who are parking. You may also notice that lines vary depending on the kind of parking available in that space. It can be diagonal, horizontal, or parallel type of parking. 

• Refreshing your parking lot lines.

You don’t have to wait for the markings to be completely gone before you even start repainting them. As soon as you see almost 50% of the marking is gone, it’s time for you to refresh the paint. Just make sure that you clean the surface thoroughly first before you cover it again since the small debris could hinder the paint and could be removed once cleaned or swept away. 
 
You should also refrain yourself from repainting every now and then since there are some paints that take a while before it could dry, therefore you need to adjust the space in the duration of drying that certain part. Also, it’s not even necessary to paint if it still readable and you can see which direction it is pointing. You might just be wasting your resources and money just to do something that’s not even necessary.
