4 Signs Your Property Needs Asphalt Striping
Asphalt striping, also known as line striping or pavement marking, is crucial when it comes to maintaining a walkable or drivable environment for both pedestrians and drivers. And since asphalt is not immune to the wear and tear of traffic, weather, and other environmental factors, it can cause current asphalt striping to fade or deteriorate. So, how do you know when your current asphalt striping has moved from “slightly worn” to “ready for replacement?”
At Tates Creek Paving, we’ve been serving central Kentucky with asphalt services for more than 40 years, and we know the signs that show when you should consider refreshing the linework on your asphalt surfaces. These include:
1. Faded Markings:
The most obvious sign that your property is in need of asphalt striping is faded or worn-out markings. This happening is no fault of your own—it is simply the result of exposure to the elements and traffic. This can cause the paint to lose its brightness and visibility, possibly confusing drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. By investing in fresh asphalt striping, you can provide clear and crisp markings that allow everyone to navigate your property safely.
2. Weather Damage:
Weather damage is another big sign that your asphalt striping needs to be redone. When weather fluctuates, asphalt fluctuates with it. This can result in cracks, potholes, and other pavement issues that can disrupt your current asphalt striping. We suggest scheduling routine inspections of your asphalt at the end of the summer and winter to inspect for damage.
3. Parking Lot Redesign:
Are you planning to redesign your parking lot? Whether it’s for expansion or improving traffic flow, a parking lot redesign is another reason for asphalt striping repair. Up-to-date striping helps make parking spaces, pedestrian walkways, loading zones, and other essential areas clear to those driving or walking through your lot. This makes your new parking lot look great and helps set up a smooth traffic flow.
4. More Traffic (Foot and Car):
A boom in business and traffic is always exciting! However, an increase in foot or car traffic can cause your current asphalt striping to fade significantly faster. If you've noticed an increase in traffic or usage on your property, we encourage you to celebrate the moment and then immediately call our team to evaluate the condition of your pavement markings or provide fresh asphalt striping.
