Common Questions

In Seattle’s wet climate, parking lot striping typically needs to be redone every 18-24 months. However, high-traffic areas or lots exposed to harsh conditions may require restriping more frequently, possibly every 12-18 months.

Water-based acrylic paints are commonly used in Seattle due to their durability and quick drying time. For areas with heavy traffic or frequent rain exposure, some contractors may recommend thermoplastic markings for longer-lasting results.

Drying time can vary depending on temperature and humidity levels. In Seattle’s climate, water-based paints typically dry to the touch within 30 minutes to an hour. However, it’s usually recommended to wait at least 24 hours before allowing vehicle traffic on newly striped areas.

Yes, Seattle has specific regulations regarding parking lot striping, including:

  • ADA compliance for accessible parking spaces
  • Minimum parking space dimensions (typically 8.5 feet wide by 19 feet long for standard spaces)
  • Requirements for electric vehicle charging stations in certain new developments Always check with the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections for the most up-to-date requirements.

While it’s possible to stripe parking lots during the rainy season, it’s not ideal. Most contractors prefer to schedule striping during drier months (typically May to September) to ensure proper adhesion and drying of the paint. For necessary work during wet periods, contractors may use specialized quick-drying paints or plan around weather forecasts.

Yes, in line with Seattle’s environmental focus, there are eco-friendly options:

  • Low-VOC or zero-VOC water-based paints
  • Paints made with recycled materials
  • Reflective glass beads for improved visibility and reduced lighting needs These options align with Seattle’s commitment to sustainability.

Seattle’s emphasis on alternative transportation means parking lot designs often need to include:

  • Clearly marked pedestrian walkways
  • Designated bike parking areas
  • Safe crossing zones between parking areas and building entrances These elements should be incorporated into the striping plan to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

To improve visibility:

  • Use high-quality, reflective paint
  • Add reflective glass beads to the paint for enhanced nighttime visibility
  • Consider using contrasting colors for critical markings (like pedestrian crossings)
  • Ensure proper lighting throughout the parking lot
  • Schedule regular maintenance and touch-ups to keep lines bright and visible
