By one industry group’s estimate, there are more than 105 million parking stalls in the United States.  Local, state and federal laws regulate the width, length, parking angle, as well as the number and location of disabled parking stalls.

Parking lots do not receive the same wear and tear that highways do but still have their own unique situations that require economical solutions for their pavement marking needs.  As with roadways, most parking lots are paved with either concrete or asphalt.  Deciding on which marking material to use depends on several factors including cost, environmental regulations, whether or not the material needs to dry fast in order to minimize parking tie ups, determining if the markings are going to be exposed to daily watering, whether the surface is aged or new, asking if the markings are going to be subjected to automobile turns.  The answers to these questions will dictate what material to use.  From waterbase traffic paint to fast cure epoxy, Ennis Paint has the marketing material for every parking situation.
