Contractors providing service for commercial asphalt paving in Racine, WI can help property owners create a parking lot design that is optimum for the organization’s needs. A certain number of spaces, including handicapped spaces, is required by regulations. Beyond that, the property owner has a great deal of leeway regarding design. Depending on the size of the lot, the owner can make numerous decisions about space arrangement.
Painted Lines
Painted lines are important, as otherwise, drivers tend to park further away from the next vehicle than is necessary. That fills up the lot when it could actually hold many more automobiles.
Angled or Horizontal Rows
If the lot is large enough, customers of contractors providing commercial asphalt paving in Racine, WI, must decide whether they want angled or horizontal rows. Some lots are set up so single horizontal rows are the only sensible option instead of the more prevalent double-row arrangement. That’s the case with relatively narrow lots next to a building. The owner might be able to have only one row, but sometimes two rows with a space in between are possible.
Single-Lane Horizontal Rows
The single-lane horizontal row option actually can be close to ideal for a building that is not particularly large because nobody has to walk very far to reach the building’s entry doors. This arrangement is commonly seen outside of restaurants and fitness centers, for example. It does not work for large department stores, however.
