A well-designed and newly painted parking lot helps to give visitors places to safely park their vehicles. According to Fast Company, the nation has eight parking spaces per registered vehicle, but lots that are damaged or unpainted may pose a threat to vehicles. If you're considering restriping your parking lot, doing so could provide you with many advantages. Here's a better look at the benefits of restriping parking lot spaces and lanes.

1. Make the Parking Lot Look Better

A clean and newly painted parking lot adds curb appeal to the parking area. It is more inviting for visitors and helps to instill confidence that their vehicles will be safely parked and awaiting their return. Whether your parking lot serves one business or several, restriping parking lot spaces and lanes can help to attract more local traffic and potential customers or clients.

2. Create a More Efficient Parking Area

Parking lots should work efficiently while enabling visitors to come and go. Sometimes, errors are made when laying down stripes. The nature of parking demands also might change over time. Restriping parking lot lanes and spaces enable you to correct any prior errors and adjust the lanes so that your parking area is much more efficient.

3. Enhance Safety While Reducing Liability Risks

People want to know that they will be relatively safe while using your parking lot. Safety includes parking without incident. It also involves walking safely to an intended destination. Restriping a parking lot helps you to focus on safety that better protects drivers and pedestrians against potential accidents and injury while using your parking area.

4. Ensure Federal Compliance

You need to ensure your parking lot is beneficial for people with disabilities. Restriping parking lot spaces and lanes that make it easier for those with disabilities to park and get to where they are going help to ensure compliance with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). An ADA-compliant parking area protects the disabled while also protecting you against possible liability for violating federal law.
