Parking Striping

Parking Striping

Parking Striping

(OP)
Anybody know of any good books about parking striping dimensions and requirements?

RE: Parking Striping

Even if you find some good references, remember to check the local codes and ordinances.  In some places the minimum width for a parking stall is 9'; 8.5' allowed in employee parking areas; 8' allowed for designated compact car parking, different for parking garages, etc.  For length of stall, 20' is common, less if wheel stop is used and overhang space available.

RE: Parking Striping

(OP)
I am doing some non-standard stripes for a parking lot.
The stripes are providing an enterance to a handicap ramp.
I need it to seperate a parking stripe and face of curb
by 4' to allow a some path onto the ramp.  I need to
know how I should show the seperation.

RE: Parking Striping

In Public (under the sun) zones in Zaragoza the strip goes blank, the parking area may likely be apparent concrete and the pedestrian zone is painted green. If it does not last much, this gives renewed work, no?

RE: Parking Striping

Areas of no parking such as walkways and handicap access aisles are striped with closely spaced stripes at 45 degrees to direction of travel.  I've seen 4" wide stripes spaced 18" on center but could be wider, other spacing.   Don't know of any code or standard for this.

RE: Parking Striping

The ADA [Americans with Disibilities Act] Standards for Accessible Design offers minimum required parking space layout criteria.  Section 4.6 Parking and Passenger Loading Zones.  

RE: Parking Striping

Try 4" wide yellow stripes @ 3-4' on center & @ 45 degree angle to curb.
