As mentioned before, apart from marking the area as the fire lane, signs are also necessary to show the general public where not to park. The signs are always required to display the words, “No Parking Fire Lane.” The background of the signboards should be white reflective, and the letters written on it should be in red. The signs must also provide directional information if applicable. When installing the signs, keep in mind that the height of the sign should be at least 7 feet above the ground. The fire lane signs should be spaced every 100 feet.

It is also essential to ensure that the placement of fire lanes is in accordance with the placement of fire hydrants in the area. This usually works when only one side of the roadway has fire lane marking. Keeping the fire lane on the same side of the road where a fire hydrant is present makes it easier to avoid any hindrance by parking. It is also essential that a fire lane can access the road from both ends. If it is not possible for any reason, the fire lane must be made into a dead end, and a fire turnaround should be put in.
​
The property owner must maintain the fire lanes at any cost. The areas should be repainted each year or at least when they are not legible anymore.

In urban areas, a fire lane is marked near a parking lot near any building. Normal traffic is not allowed to park in the fire lanes to make sure that in case of any emergency the access to safety equipment is done without any hindrance. These lanes are also defined as a passageway to access roads that allow fire department vehicles to pass through easily. When a fire lane is designed in any area, there are some requirements that need to be fulfilled first. Since fire trucks and other fire department vehicles are huge, therefore, some adjustments, need to be made for them. Fire lanes also provide a clear space to escape from. Consequently, they need to wider for buildings with large occupancy.

What Is A Bollard?
 
Bollard installation is one of the final key steps to take when building a parking lot or garage. Bollard is a short post designed to guide traffic and protect pedestrians and buildings from vehicle impact. Based on these functions, one could define bollard as a parking lot barrier that is used to separate a walking area from a roadway. Also, bollards serve as visual barriers that help drivers to move along the right path. Bollards are an effective way to protect the parking lot area, cars, and people as well as organize the flow of traffic.  
 
How Do Bollards Protect My Property?
 
Parking garage bollards are inevitable parts of every parking lot though they are often overlooked. Bollards play no less important role than No parking signs, fire lane striping, and other parking lot safety elements. Bollard installation is a time- and labor-intensive process as they need to be firmly fixed into the ground. For optimal protection, the hole is filled with concrete and smoothed out with a level to be even with the ground. Once the concrete is fully cured, the bollard is installed. Regardless of the type of protective bollard, it is always reinforced with concrete to prevent its pulling from the ground.
 
Even though bollards are sometimes overlooked, they are important elements to be included in the parking lot of equipment. They have good perspectives for future use as you don't have to change it because of wear and tear but only when they are broken. For parking lot owners to pay more and more attention to their business attractiveness which begins with clients’ safety and satisfaction, protection bollards need to be added to your property. 
 
Choosing Traffic Bollards To Protect Facilities
 
There actually exist a lot of types of bollards, they can be classified by height, shape, material, function, etc. When choosing from different types of parking garage barriers on the base of their function, consider the most common of them:

• Decorative Bollards
• Security Bollards
• Concrete Bollards
• Steel Bollards
• Plastic Bollards
• Pipe Bollards
• Road Bollards
• Protective Bollards
• Light Bollards 

​Bollards can be divided into guides and safety posts. For guiding purposes, customers usually choose temporary orange traffic-control cone bollards designed to direct traffic but these bollards are not able to protect property from damage. Pipe bollards are an effective way to protect buildings from the backside or areas through which the large vehicles pass as they are comparatively cheap, reinforced with concrete for additional protection and have a thin shape. 
 
For the purpose of protection, steel or concrete parking garage bollards are most often used. Safety bollard is a post designed in a manner that allows it to withstand collisions with heavy vehicles. The more durable material the bollard is made of, the more significant vehicle impact it can withstand.

Concrete bollard is one of the cheapest and most durable options for parking lot areas.

Steel bollard installation is a more expensive option though steel bollards are more visually appealing and durable than concrete bollards. Steel bollards are made of 100% steel and they can endure quite violent intrusions. Steel bollard post installation implies repair and removal services if needed. These bollards are installed in sensitive areas to protect vehicles, buildings, and people and reduce the damage that could be catastrophic. Two-part epoxy coatings make it able to withstand the most extreme harsh weather conditions. Light steel bollards are used to improve the look of buildings and make them more visible at night. 
 
Depending on your needs, we can offer you a wide range of bollards of high quality and at an affordable price. From decorative to protective, our bollard professionals can install the exact posts you need for a parking lot or garage. Despite the fact that bollards usually come in a set, we are ready to provide you with the number that suits exactly to your area.

Concrete Wheel Stops For Parking Lots

Have you ever thought why whenever you are trying to park backward in the parking lot, you don't bump other cars and don't crush your car? This is thanks to the wheel stops. 
 
Types Of Wheel Stops
For the purpose of avoiding car crashes and improving safety in the parking lots, different types of parking bumpers are used. Regardless of what the wheel stops can be made of, they should be durable to withstand any outdoor conditions and pressure of the vehicle. On the one hand, the most suitable material for wheel stops should be long-lasting.  If you are looking for the best options for your parking system, you might find concrete and rubber wheel stops the right types. 

Concrete wheel stops suit more for outdoor installation for their durability and resistance to various weather conditions. The disadvantage of using concrete wheel stops consists of their fragility as they can be prone to damage under the pressure of heavy loaded trucks.

Compared to concrete parking stops, rubber parking blocks suit well for both indoor or outdoor installation.

​Rubber is more durable than even 4000 psi concrete. It is resistant to ultraviolet, moisture, oils, and extreme heat. Also, rubber is more environment-friendly as it is produced of recycled rubber tires. Installation of both rubber and concrete parking blocks can be completed with minimal tools in a matter of minutes.  

​It is interesting that commercial parking operators consider the installation of the wheel stops unnecessary for the reason of having concrete curbs. Despite the fact that these elements look quite similar, their functions are totally different. Curbs are not able to fully substitute neither rubber nor concrete wheel stops for their shape, material, and function.
​
For example, concrete parking stops are constructed of 3000, 3500 or 4000 psi concrete which makes them more durable than curbs. On the other hand, rubber parking blocks are softer than their concrete counterparts, not to mention the curbs. Rubber minimizes damage to the car when it hits the wheel stops.
 As the height of curbs is usually greater than 10 cm, using them as wheel stops could be damaging for a vehicle.

What are Speed Bumps & Which Traffic Control Device Should You Install In Your Parking Lot?
 
Speedbumps belong to the category of traffic control devices which are used to slow down the speed of traffic. These are used all over the world, and their primary use is in areas where a low-speed limit needs to be followed. Speed bumps have proven to be very useful in controlling the speed of the cars that drive over them.
The height of a usual speed bump lies between three and four inches. The length of the bumps can vary, however. Usually some space is left between the bump and the edge of the road. There are many other variations when it comes to speed control devices. Some of which are speed humps, speed cushions, and speed tables.
 
Why You Should Hire a Professional
 
Speed bumps are made of rubber, plastic, asphalt, metal, or concrete. If they’re made of rubber or plastic, it’s easy to get them installed on existing surfaces for a quick and effective setup. Despite being a simple task, there are some basic instructions that need to be followed before installation. If these steps are not followed, a severe accident can happen.
 
The surface where the bump will be fitted should be clean, dry, and smooth. If there is any damage, it should be repaired before a speed bump is installed. Speed bumps should lie flat on the surface. Once the position is marked, speed bumps should be drilled and fitted on the ground.
 

 Since most speed bumps are made of plastic or metal, they are subject to wear over time. However, their ease of installation makes them the best candidate to be replaced quickly and effectively. Once you see that the speed bumps in your parking lot are worn out due to excess traffic crossing over them, you can get it replaced the same day within a few minutes.
 
In parking lots, it is necessary to install speed bumps so that no vehicle can speed and can cause potential damage to a car or a pedestrian. It is best to seek the services of a professional who can decide which material and size will be best for you to use in your parking lot before you make your decision.
