Parking Lot Striping SLC provides expert speed bump painting services for commercial properties throughout Salt Lake County. Our high-visibility striping makes existing speed bumps and humps clearly visible to drivers, improving safety and reducing vehicle damage. We restore faded markings and apply fresh, durable paint that withstands Utah's climate and heavy traffic.
Speed bumps only work effectively when drivers can see them in time to slow down. Faded or unpainted speed bumps create hazards—drivers hit them at full speed, causing vehicle damage, passenger discomfort, and potential liability for property owners. Professional speed bump painting helps you:
Highly visible speed bumps alert drivers to slow down, reducing accidents and protecting pedestrians.
Clear visibility prevents vehicles from hitting speed bumps at high speeds, reducing damage and complaints.
Properly marked speed bumps demonstrate reasonable care in maintaining safe traffic calming devices.
Visible markings ensure speed bumps achieve their intended purpose of slowing traffic.
Proper speed bump painting follows established standards for maximum effectiveness and safety. We apply industry best practices to every speed bump painting project:
Alternating 12-inch yellow and black diagonal stripes at 45-degree angles provide the highest visibility and instant recognition. This pattern meets MUTCD recommendations and is universally recognized as a speed bump warning. Reflective glass beads enhance nighttime visibility.
Solid yellow coating offers a cleaner appearance while maintaining high visibility. Popular for upscale properties and HOA communities where aesthetics matter. Requires high-quality, bright yellow traffic paint for maximum effectiveness. Still highly visible day and night.
Pavement markings 50-100 feet before speed bumps alert drivers to upcoming traffic calming devices. Triangle or diamond symbols with "BUMP" text provide advance notice. Especially important for speed bumps in unexpected locations or on curves.
Speed humps are longer and more gradual than speed bumps, typically 12-14 feet long versus 3-4 feet. The same high-visibility striping applies but covers a larger surface area. Speed tables (flat-topped humps) receive edge striping to define the raised area clearly.
We evaluate all speed bumps, assess current marking condition, and recommend optimal striping patterns and colors.
Thorough cleaning and preparation of speed bump surfaces, removing old paint if necessary for proper adhesion.
Precise painting with high-quality traffic paint and glass beads for reflectivity. Clean stripe edges and consistent coverage.
Final inspection ensures complete coverage, proper stripe dimensions, and maximum visibility from approaching vehicles.
