TL;DR
Striping is the layout and painting of parking stalls, traffic arrows, fire lanes, and accessible-space markings on pavement, applied with a walk-behind line machine after sealcoating cures. Standard stalls run 9 by 18 feet with 4-inch lines in fast-dry waterborne traffic paint, while ADA spaces require specific widths, access aisles, and signage that inspectors verify.
What it means
Striping is the layout and painting of parking stalls, traffic arrows, fire lanes, and accessible-space markings on pavement, applied with a walk-behind line machine after sealcoating cures. Standard stalls run 9 by 18 feet with 4-inch lines in fast-dry waterborne traffic paint, while ADA spaces require specific widths, access aisles, and signage that inspectors verify. On residential and small commercial sealcoat jobs it is the finishing line item, since fresh black sealer erases every existing marking.
