San Angelo striping guide
Use visibility and property changes to set the schedule.
Traffic, sweeping, intense sun, weather, pavement condition, paint, and maintenance practices all influence how quickly parking lot markings fade. High-turnover entrances and drive lanes may lose contrast before quieter sections of the same lot.
Walk the property in daylight and lower-light conditions. Look for hard-to-follow stalls, weak arrows, incomplete curb markings, faded fire lanes, unclear access aisles, or places where drivers routinely ignore the intended pattern.
Restriping is also worth reviewing after sealcoating, pavement repairs, changes in tenants or traffic, accessibility updates, and layout revisions. Documenting the lot periodically makes it easier to plan work before the markings become confusing.
Signs it is time to review the markings
- Stalls and arrows are difficult to follow
- Safety or restricted-area markings have faded
- Repairs or sealcoating changed the surface
