Parking Lot Painting
A large portion of the asphalt paving process comes right at the end: Line painting. It may not seem like a big deal, but that is what most people will notice about your parking lot, especially over time. The simple lines on the pavement turn a parking lot from a disorganized danger zone to a neat-and-tidy arrangement of vehicles.
More Than Just Lines
Beyond being simple lines on the pavement, parking lot lines give definition and direction to drivers. What may seem to be the obvious entrance or exit to some can easily be confused as the opposite for others. The lines and arrows serve as clear guidelines and set a baseline for agreed-upon rules of all those who will use the parking lot.
Legality
Without lines and arrows to direct people on how to navigate and park in your parking lot, there are a number of issues that can occur; these issues can manifest in costly or dangerous accidents. Consider this: Without proper guidance on inlets and exits from your parking lot, it is possible that a vehicle can collide with another vehicle, or worse, a person. This could leave you liable for potentially costly damages if the driver or victim decide to come after your business. Simply by having freshly painted, easily understood lines on the pavement, you can give your business legal ground to stand upon and likely avoid charges and accidents altogether.
Safety
Beyond just the legality of parking lot damages, you want your customers, employees, tenants, or even guests to be safe when using your asphalt parking lot. By having clearly-defined lines and easily understood signals, you keep traffic moving without significant risk to your visitors. For business owners and travelers alike, parking is almost always an afterthought; it is something never think about until it becomes inconvenient or harmful. Get ahead of the curve by planning out the safety measures of your parking spaces.
Sales
Anyone that has lived in the city or been shopping on Black Friday can attest: There are some places you just don’t go to when it’s busy. For many, this has nothing to do with the store itself, but a great deal to do with the parking lot situation. If the parking lot offers inadequate space, close quarters, or even just unclear parking and driving lines, then traffic jams occur and people get upset. This can, especially over time, cost you money in lost sales.
