What are the basic line markings needed for Underground Car Parking?
As more and more vehicles are being released and individuals use private vehicles, the demand for parking has really increased. Most commercial spaces have limited parking spaces on ground zero so underground car parks have been a solution in most states.
Similar to other Car Parking systems, it is standard to have line marking as a guide for better and safer traffic flow.
Whether it is underground, steel parking, or normal ground zero parking, it all needs a regulated car park system for organisation and safety purposes. This includes the following;
Parking Layouts
Strategising parking layout is the main plan to consider as it is where we can identify how many cars a parking space can house. The parking layout determines the mere designated parking space and the overall parking flow.
Directional Arrows
From the name itself, directional arrows are the ones to control the traffic flow to avoid accidents and congestion among the vehicles in the parking space. Most traffic flow line markings determine the entrances, the exit, wrong way or no entry.
Pedestrian Crossings and Hazard Signs
As the pedestrians are going out of their cars to the establishment or vice versa, a designated walkway should be present in all car parks. These are made for the pedestrians and drivers guide for safety and organisation. Hazard signs and warnings come in hand as well as these simple warnings can save life and prevent accidents and inconvenience.
Reserved Parking Spaces
There is a special parking space designated mostly for disabled persons or in some cases there are also reserved parking spaces for VIPs of the establishments or companies.
These markings are very important to be designated for the allotted person. Most reserved parking spaces signs and markings are usually marked bold, either in yellow or reflective sign so it may be visible even at a distance.
