Parking Lot Striping SLC provides comprehensive traffic markings and road striping services for commercial properties, private roads, and municipal facilities throughout Salt Lake County. Clear, visible traffic markings are essential for safe vehicle and pedestrian movement, proper traffic flow management, and liability protection. Our professional-grade materials and expert application ensure long-lasting, highly visible markings that guide traffic safely and efficiently.
From crosswalks and directional arrows to stop bars and lane dividers, we deliver precise, durable markings that meet industry standards and enhance safety on your property.
Crosswalks are critical safety features that protect pedestrians and clearly designate crossing zones. Our crosswalk striping services include multiple design options:
Two parallel white lines (12-24 inches wide) marking crosswalk boundaries. Most common and cost-effective crosswalk style. Meets all safety standards while providing clear pedestrian zone designation.
Wide parallel bars (12-18 inches) perpendicular to traffic creating a "ladder" appearance. Research shows this high-visibility style increases driver yielding behavior by 40-60%. Recommended for high-traffic areas.
Diagonal stripes across crossing area. Provides excellent visibility and pedestrian protection. Common in school zones and high-pedestrian areas. Requires more paint but offers maximum visibility.
Standard crosswalk markings enhanced with skid-resistant aggregate for traction in wet conditions. Combines visibility with slip resistance. Ideal for sloped approaches and high-rainfall areas.
Directional arrows guide drivers and prevent confusion at intersections and traffic decision points. We install all standard arrow types:
Arrow Placement: Arrows positioned 10-50 feet before decision points depending on traffic speed. Multiple arrows may be used in long approach lanes. High-visibility white or yellow paint ensures daytime and nighttime visibility.
Stop bars indicate where vehicles must stop at intersections, crosswalks, and traffic control points:
Width: 12-24 inches (wider bars more visible)
Color: White for standard intersections
Placement: 4 feet before crosswalk or at sign location
Purpose: Defines legal stopping point
Pattern: Row of triangles or dashed line
Width: 12-18 inches
Placement: At yield sign locations
Purpose: Indicates yield right-of-way point
Stop bars placed 4 feet upstream of crosswalk allow pedestrians to cross without vehicles blocking their path. Essential for ADA compliance and pedestrian safety at all marked crossings.
Stop bars at parking lot intersections, entrances, and high-traffic areas control traffic flow and prevent collisions. Particularly important at blind corners and exits to public streets.
Lane markings organize traffic flow and prevent head-on collisions on private roads and parking lot drive aisles:
Text markings communicate important messages directly to drivers. Common pavement text includes:
Text Standards: Letters typically 4-8 feet tall depending on traffic speed. Elongated proportions account for viewing angle—text appears normal when viewed from approaching vehicle.
Speed control devices require highly visible markings to alert drivers and ensure effectiveness:
Yellow chevron arrows painted on speed hump surfaces indicate presence and direction. High-visibility markings prevent surprise encounters and reduce vehicle damage complaints.
"SPEED HUMP AHEAD" text and warning symbols painted 50-100 feet before hump location. Gives drivers time to reduce speed appropriately before encountering device.
White or yellow edge lines along speed hump sides enhance visibility in low-light conditions. Particularly important for nighttime safety and driver confidence.
Raised crosswalks (speed tables) combine traffic calming with pedestrian protection. Zebra-striped markings on raised surface maximize visibility for both functions.
Traffic markings must remain visible in all lighting and weather conditions. We offer multiple material options:
School areas require specialized markings to protect children and alert drivers to student presence:
High-visibility ladder-style crosswalks at all school pedestrian crossing points. May include "SCHOOL XING" advance pavement text and stop bars for vehicle positioning.
"SCHOOL" pavement text and speed limit markings within designated school speed zones. Supplements signage to reinforce reduced speed requirements during school hours.
Yellow curb painting, "BUS ONLY" pavement text, and loading zone boundary lines designating areas reserved for school bus loading/unloading. Prevents unauthorized parking.
Designated lanes with directional arrows, "STUDENT LOADING" text, and no-parking markings organizing parent drop-off traffic flow during peak arrival/dismissal times.
Bicycle facility markings improve cyclist safety and communicate lane usage to motorists:
