Traffic Marking Services for Parking Lots

Traffic marking is important in parking lots for several reasons. It provides clear and visible traffic markings to help drivers navigate the parking lot safely, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries. Properly marked parking spaces, crosswalks, and directional arrows guide traffic flow and help prevent collisions. Traffic markings are an essential aspect of parking lot design and maintenance, helping to ensure safety, efficiency, compliance, accessibility, and aesthetics. As an Asphalt Paving Contractor, it’s important to work with your clients to determine their specific traffic marking needs and to provide high-quality and durable pavement markings that meet their requirements.

SPEED BUMPS

Speed Bumps, Signs, and Striping help reduce speeds and provide a greater awareness of traffic safety. These asphalt speed bumps raise a segment of pavement by 3 inches to 4 inches which typically cause motorists to reduce speeds below 10mph resulting in increased safety. We can apply paint to these asphalt speed bumps to create awareness to also maintain motorist safety. Asphalt Paving Near Me provides great solutions to mitigate vehicle speeds in parking lots and clear delineations of traffic flow for Palo Alto Commercial Asphalt Paving.

CONCRETE IMPROVEMENTS

Concrete looks good, and lasts a long time. Every concrete job or placement is unique as different jobs have different requirements. Typical applications require forms and the concrete is poured into the permanent position. In locations where there is lots of seismic activity or road movements (hills) it is common to use reinforcements such as steel rods, wire mesh, fiber mesh, dowels to resist movement and unwanted cracking. We need to say that no matter how professional any team may be, concrete cracks, and it is a part of the drying process. In order to keep your surface looking good, we create mechanical joints which help relive or channel the stress so they don’t show up on your visible surface.
Concrete looks beautiful, but it is a headache for customers when it fails near their garage doors. We can make the structural repairs to the slab, including the cleaning, preparation, epoxy dowels, and concrete finish.

WHAT DOES A FAILING ASPHALT SURFACE LOOK LIKE?

Assess you asphalt yourself

Discoloration

Asphalt is exposed to the elements 365 days a year, so it never “Catches a break”. If your asphalt is now discolored, it didn’t happen overnight. The elements have likely taken a toll on your asphalt and oxidation has taken place on your current wearing surface. Your wearing surface is what resists abrasion from vehicles, and protects the structural integrity of the asphalt from the elements. If you are at this stage, we recommend a Sealcoating service to restore your wearing surface by your local asphalt paving contractor .

Reveling

If you allowed your asphalt pavement to creep past the “Discoloration Phase” noted above, you are more than likely seeing loose gravel (aggregate, rocks) on your asphalt surface or along the concrete gutter pan. Vehicles didn’t track that onto your property, what you are seeing is the structural component of your asphalt breaking up by vehicular abrasion. We recommend a sealcoating service if there is not much gravel, and an Asphalt Overlay if there is significant Reveling.

Cracking

If you allowed your asphalt to creep past the first two stages, then you are more than likely beginning to see cracks form on the asphalt surface. Asphalt cracks are indicative of a compromised base due to water intrusion. If the cracks are not deeper than 1 inch and wider than 0.5 inch, that we would suggest crack filling the void with either cold or hot crack filler.

Alligator Cracking

If you have gotten to this stage, the asphalt looks like the backside of an Alligator or a dry desert floor. The surface can no longer convey water to local drain inlets, and is no longer able to disperse the vehicular load from traffic. We recommend that the local area be removed, and replaced with new asphalt.

Potholes

If you have gotten to this stage, not only does the asphalt look bad, but it no longer serves its intended purpose. It acts like a bird bath, and allows water to puddle during the rainy seasons or after watering your landscape…. This surface has completely failed. We recommend that you contact your local asphalt paving contractor, and that the area be milled, compacted and replaced with new asphalt.
