Line Striping in Carson, CA

Line striping tells drivers where to park, where to drive and where not to stop. In Carson that means customer lots, church and school lots, apartment parking and industrial yards with truck lanes, dock numbers and trailer stalls. Fresh, crisp markings make a property safer and easier to use, and they are required for accessible parking and fire lanes.

Accessible parking

The U.S. Department of Justice guidance is that any restripe brings the lot under the 2010 ADA Standards. Required accessible spaces: 1 for lots of 1 to 25 spaces, 2 for 26 to 50, 3 for 51 to 75, 4 for 76 to 100, 5 for 101 to 150, 6 for 151 to 200, and 7 for 201 to 300. At least one in six must be van-accessible, and lots of 201 to 300 need two. Car spaces are 96 inches wide with a 60-inch aisle; van spaces are 132 inches with a 60-inch aisle or 96 inches with a 96-inch aisle. Spaces and aisles cannot slope more than 1:48.

Restripe or new layout

A restripe follows existing lines. A new layout measures the lot fresh, which HomeGuide says costs 20 to 50 percent more but can fix traffic flow and add stalls. After a sealcoat or overlay is the natural time.

Scheduling

We stripe in sections and outside busy hours so lots and yards stay open.

Fire lanes

Fire lanes and red curbs mark where parking is not allowed. We repaint them as part of a restripe so they stay visible.

After sealcoat

Sealcoat covers old lines, so restriping always follows. Fresh paint on a fresh black surface gives the sharpest result.
