New Article Rubber Parking Stops

Building a parking lot with parking stops will assure that traffic will not allow autos to cross the parking lot in an unsafe way, and keep the flow of traffic moving in the appropriate manner. The parking stops can add to the attraction of the lot, especially if they are made of recycled plastic. Using this type of material on a lot is beneficial because it does not ever fade from UV rays and is resistant to fuels, oils and other substances that may come from automobiles or the people using them. The design of the parking lot can incorporate the stops to make it up to standards by the city or development in which it is located. Roadtech is the answer to all your parking lot needs.

Parking Lot Design

An effective parking lot will have a plan before it is built to assure proper run-off of rain and melting snow and also to accommodate the number of cars that need to be parked in it. Reducing the amount of paved surface area in often a goal which can occur with a range of parking space options allowed by a municipality, reducing the stall dimensions so that there are allowances for a percentage of space designated for compact car parking, and promoting shared lots that utilize the lot during the day (as in an office building) and in the evening (restaurant). Another consideration is placing the spaces at an angle instead of a 90 degree pull in, for this cuts the driving lane width and allows more spaces to be placed closer together. With the reduced space used, recycled plastic parking stops are usually bright and very visible, dropping the potential for tripping that concrete stops may cause when people don't see them. The colorful stops will add some interest to the lot, especially if planting is added.

 

One doesn't typically think of landscaping for a parking lot, yet when it is built into it, it may allow for better overall benefits for the lot owner and the people parking there. A few trees will offer shade for the autos, and make it more comfortable during the summer months, the deep roots of the trees and plants will allow for rain absorption, and using native vegetation will create a wildlife habitat and a more aesthetically pleasing environment.

Examples of Parking Lots with Parking Stops

Parking stops are used effectively at schools and other places where the traffic must go one way and it prohibits crossing the lot. They may also be used as curbing where none exists, and to block walkways between cars. The entire lot does not need to be covered in parking stops, but used effectively can direct traffic, both pedestrian and vehicles.

Standards for Parking Stops

In the design and building of a parking lot, a municipality and possibly the developer of the property will set the guidelines for using parking stops. The ADA also has standards for the accessible parking spots that are found in most lots. Whenever preparing a design and a plan to include parking stops, be sure to check with the appropriate parties to assure that it is built to their codes. Roadtech carriers a wide selection of parking stops rubber and plastic.
