Why Parking Lot Striping Is More Important Than Most People Think

Parking lot striping is one of the most overlooked parts of property maintenance. Many people see it as just paint — until problems start happening.

What Striping Really Does

Clear striping organizes movement. It tells drivers where to go, pedestrians where to walk, and emergency vehicles where to access.

Good striping:

• Improves traffic flow
• Reduces accidents
• Supports ADA compliance
• Enhances curb appeal
• Protects property owners from liability

Signs Your Lot Needs Restriping

• Lines are faded or barely visible
• ADA symbols are worn out
• Fire lanes aren’t clearly marked
• Drivers park inconsistently

In high-traffic areas like Northern Colorado, striping wears faster due to snowplows and sun exposure.

Striping and Compliance

Many municipalities require visible striping to meet safety and accessibility standards. Faded markings can create compliance issues and insurance concerns.

Affordable Sealing and Striping provides professional striping that’s precise, durable, and compliant — helping properties stay safe and functional year-round.
