Busy parking lots are filled with more things happening than just people leaving their cars. On any given day in Orlando, Florida and the surrounding communities, you’ll see parking lots bustling with busy professionals walking swiftly through a crosswalk to get to work or maybe an older couple using an accessible space to unload their wheelchair. Depending upon where you go, there might be a designated lane for passenger drop-offs or even an area completely blocked off for emergency responders. Professional parking lot layout design involves carefully planning for every person who visits the area’s safety, and we believe that this is one of the most important services we offer in the asphalt paving business.
WHAT IS A PARKING LOT LAYOUT?
A parking lot layout is essentially a map. To make one, we start with an outlined shape of your parking lot that includes all of its current dimensions along with any existing or planned permanent structures, such as islands or fencing. Then, we fill in all of the necessary features to make it functional for both drivers and pedestrians. We’ll map out where to put accessible spaces along with the allotted number of parking stalls and their angles, which helps our crew know exactly where to put down the parking lot striping and directional markers.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A PROFESSIONAL PARKING LOT LAYOUT DESIGN?
Trying to figure out the perfect angle for parking stalls that balances the need for achieving peak capacity with safety is a challenge, unless you happen to be a professional who works within the asphalt industry. The same is also true for making sure that the parking lot is ADA-compliant with the right number, location and size of accessible spaces. Working with a professional parking lot layout planner takes all of the stress off of your hands, and you can even get help with determining the best traffic flow pattern to prevent bottlenecks and other hazards.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REDESIGN THE LAYOUT?
Most parking lots don’t need to be redesigned every time we do re-striping. After the initial parking lot striping project, you’ll want to keep an eye out for any signs that the layout is no longer working. Receiving an uptick in complaints about door dings, dealing with frequent accidents or noticing new traffic jams are signs that people may be using the lot differently, and updating the layout can restore parking lot safety.
