When choosing among the most common parking sign materials, buyers prefer steel and aluminum as the cheapest and most reliable options.
​
While the first material that comes to mind when mentioning the word “metal” is iron, manufacturers don't use it for parking signs for its vulnerability. Even though iron is one of the most affordable materials, it is easy to get rusted which is a significant drawback. In the past, steel was used to prevent rust on iron signs but steel is quite heavy comparing to iron, which is less suitable for posting and installing. Aluminum is three times lighter than steel which allows using aluminum signs of different thicknesses.

Common Types of Metal Signage for Your Parking Lot
 
When thinking which metal signs are required to be placed in or around your parking lot, take into consideration that it depends on the number of sections and categories of drivers.  Customers are offered a wide variety of pre-designed signs as well as possible to order metal signs for any specific use. The most common signs installed in the parking lots are stop signs, No Parking sign, fire lane sign, and others.   Parking sign manufacturers produce a huge number of signs based on the type of material, its thicknesses, and other parameters. For today, metal parking signs are known to be the most popular ones because of their durability. 
 
When talking about temporary parking signs, heavy-duty paper and plastic signs can be installed during short events. Heavy-duty paper signs are considered disposable and environment-friendly being expected to last from 1 day to 2 weeks. Plastic parking signs are more durable than paper, they don't bend or chip being able to withstand lower temperatures.   This is a perfect material for illuminated signs with a high-tech look. Besides, temporary parking signs are a way cheaper than metal though when it comes to permanent usage, metal is the most appropriate choice.

​Parking Lot Fire Lane Requirements

Fire lane markings are required in various locations depending on the land which is being used. These markings are also required for specific fire apparatus access features like turnarounds. The fire department access should be twenty-six feet wide or less on both sides of the road. One side of the fire department access roadways with widths which is greater than twenty-six feet and can go up to thirty-two feet.

There are four ways to mark the fire department turnaround when needed for a specific site. The entrance of the turnaround is marked differently depending upon the width of the roadway which can or cannot be based on the zone of the site. Apart from marking the parking area for the fire lane, installing signs are also a requirement.

Curb Painting Fire Lanes
​
The curbs which are designated to be a part of the fire lane area are required to be marked with yellow paint. The pavement in the area which is designated as a fire lane should have written “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” on it. The complete area which falls under the Fire Lane should be painted parallel with the curb and should be at a distance of at least three meters from it. It is important to keep in mind that while painting the words “No Parking Fire Lane” on the pavement, all the letters of the sentence should be written in block letters. The height of each letter should be at least 24 inches, and the brush stroke should not be less than 4 inches. 

​Fire Lane Signage Requirements for Parking Lot

As mentioned before, apart from marking the area as the fire lane, signs are also necessary to show the general public where not to park. The signs are always required to display the words, “No Parking Fire Lane.” The background of the signboards should be white reflective, and the letters written on it should be in red. The signs must also provide directional information if applicable. When installing the signs, keep in mind that the height of the sign should be at least 7 feet above the ground. The fire lane signs should be spaced every 100 feet.

It is also essential to ensure that the placement of fire lanes is in accordance with the placement of fire hydrants in the area. This usually works when only one side of the roadway has fire lane marking. Keeping the fire lane on the same side of the road where a fire hydrant is present makes it easier to avoid any hindrance by parking. It is also essential that a fire lane can access the road from both ends. If it is not possible for any reason, the fire lane must be made into a dead end, and a fire turnaround should be put in.
​
The property owner must maintain the fire lanes at any cost. The areas should be repainted each year or at least when they are not legible anymore.

​What are Wheel Stops and Why They Are Used in Parking Lots

Wheel stops are used where it is necessary to block vehicles from traveling into a certain area. They are also used in areas where pedestrians can be in danger of a parking vehicle or for stopping a car from colliding with a wall or a barrier.

A wheel stop can prevent cars from getting over a walkway, embankment, drop off, or ditch. Local ordinance often requires the use of wheel stops in parking vicinity. ADA also encourages the use of wheel stops to prevent vehicles from entering routes used by pedestrians.

Wheel Stop Installation in Your Parking Lot

Wheel stops can be installed on different surfaces. However, the installation method varies according to the material of the wheel stop. The first step will be to clean the area where you want the installation to be done.

Position the wheel stop and drill the holes. For rubber wheel stops, 10mm pilot holes are drilled to fix it into an asphalt surface.  In the case of a concrete surface, the holes can go as thick as 50mm. Before fitting the nut in the hole, extract dust and clean the area.

If you are using wheel stops made of concrete, the procedure will remain the same except for the depth of the holes which can go as deep as 70 to 80mm. Clean the holes of any dust and then add sealant adhesive to the underside of the wheel stop.

​Before finalizing the installation, insert rubber plugs into the holes where the bolts were fixed. 

​
What is the Purpose of Wheel Stops in Your Parking Lot?

Sometimes drivers mistime braking when they park their cars which can lead to moving the car further than intended or worse, hitting another vehicle. Since you can't do anything about other people's braking, it is best to install wheel stops in designated areas.

These wheel stops can protect pedestrians from hazards as well and allows them to pass by. These should be installed into places where contact with end barriers like high curbs needs to be avoided. Some local zoning also requires the installation of these to designate an area as non-accessible for vehicles.

​Wheel stops also need to be maintained regularly and if they are not, they can cause more damage, and the chances of pedestrians getting injured can also increase.

Different Types of Wheel Stops

Wheel stops are used commonly in parking lots and sometimes by homeowners as well. These prevent cars from moving past a particular point and also reduce the risk of impact with something you shouldn’t be hitting. There are different kinds of wheel stops which are more beneficial depending on the type of vehicle using them and the surface where they will be installed.

Usually, wheel stops are made of rubber, concrete, or plastic. It depends on the requirement of the user which wheel stop will be best in the parking area. The size of the wheel stop depends on the vehicles which will park beside them. Oftentimes, parking lot owners rely on wheel stops made of rubber or concrete. These are easy to install and can be replaced easily as well when they wear out.

Rubber wheel stops are manufactured from recycled rubber tires. These wheel stops have multiple benefits. One is that they are recycled material. Another is that they aren't as rough as concrete so if a vehicle comes in contact with them, it is less likely to get all dinged up.

Not only that but rubber is also very durable and long-lasting as compared to other materials. It has a high resistance to moisture, oil, UV light, and extreme temperatures. Their ease of installation is due to their lightweight compared to concrete but they are more expensive.

​The height of a wheel stop can vary according to your needs. A usual wheel stop is six inches in height.

Road Signs are one of the most common symbolism 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 these kinds of signages. Apparently, it’s not only found on steel signages that you might see overhead while driving, but also on the floor, which is called pavement markings.  
 
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. 

The normal color for marking on a pavement can either be white, yellow, blue or even red. The majority of the markings can be white or yellow since they can be seen easily even there is dim light. Red and blue markings are used to be able to distinguish other markings from the others and not confuse the drivers. 
 
Pavement markings have various shapes and types. Usually, arrows are the only thing that you can see as a marking. But there are some pavement markings that also includes the speed limit, as well as the direction written in words. 
 
The direction of arrows are usually painted in white and are big enough for drivers to check. On the other hand, parking lines are usually yellow. Although, not all parking areas have lines for that. You might see them usually in parking spaces for disabled people.
