​What Is A Bollard?
 
Bollard installation is one of the final key steps to take when building a parking lot or garage. Bollard is a short post designed to guide traffic and protect pedestrians and buildings from vehicle impact. Based on these functions, one could define bollard as a parking lot barrier that is used to separate a walking area from a roadway. Also, bollards serve as visual barriers that help drivers to move along the right path. Bollards are an effective way to protect the parking lot area, cars, and people as well as organize the flow of traffic.   

​How Do Bollards Protect My Property?
 
Parking garage bollards are inevitable parts of every parking lot though they are often overlooked. Bollards play no less important role than No parking signs, fire lane striping, and other parking lot safety elements. Bollard installation is a time- and labor-intensive process as they need to be firmly fixed into the ground. For optimal protection, the hole is filled with concrete and smoothed out with a level to be even with the ground. Once the concrete is fully cured, the bollard is installed. Regardless of the type of protective bollard, it is always reinforced with concrete to prevent its pulling from the ground.
 
Even though bollards are sometimes overlooked, they are important elements to be included in the parking lot of equipment. They have good perspectives for future use as you don't have to change it because of wear and tear but only when they are broken. For parking lot owners to pay more and more attention to their business attractiveness which begins with clients’ safety and satisfaction, protection bollards need to be added to your property.

Wheel Stops
 
Wheel stops, also known as parking blocks, are physical barriers which are the major components of any well-maintained parking lot-be it inside or outside. They help in keeping the vehicles in order by sounding a notification to the driver that no forward movement is allowed.

• Stopping improper vehicle encroachment in areas of pedestrian pathways
• Demarcating parking areas and loading zones
• Preventing collisions between vehicles, vehicles, and walls

• Parking spaces within enclosed garages should be 3.3 yards wide and 6.3 yards long
• Compact parking space, wheel stops should be 2.6 yards wide and 5.3 yards long

How Pavement Marking Keep People Safe
 
Faded pavement marks are usually challenging to be seen clearly in parking lots, and this can increase the chances for accidents.  Pavement markings should always be maintained since they offer safety to users in parking lots.  

There are several reasons why pavement markings help drivers.

• They help people to see where they should be driving to and parking their vehicles.
• They provide information to drivers to know where to slow down for pedestrians while entering the parking space.
• They help drivers move in an orderly manner.
• It allows drivers to park correctly without obstructing pedestrians and other motorists.
• They indicate an intended travel path for short and long-range vehicles
• They help pedestrians know where to go for crossing while in the parking lot.
• It helps bicyclists to identify their parking areas.
• It helps people with disabilities to determine their paths without any assistance.

​Standard Color for Pavement Markings
 
The standard colors for pavement markings are usually white and yellow.  However, other colors used are red and blue, but these two colors find application in particular circumstances.

​Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in Georgia. According to the 2010 census, Atlanta's population is 420,003. Atlanta is the third-largest in the Southern United States and the ninth-largest in the country.
 
Atlanta is considered to be a top business city and is a primary transportation hub of the Southeastern United States—via highway, railroad, and air. Metro Atlanta contains the world headquarters of corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company, Turner Broadcasting, The Home Depot, AT&T Mobility, UPS, and Delta Air Lines.

Have you noticed that there are different types of lanes indicated on the road? If you still haven’t, maybe this is the time that you try to look and see them for yourself because apparently, it can have a huge impact on your driving since it can direct you where and where not to drive or even park.
 
Basically speaking, there are the normal lanes where you can drive as much, but still following the indicated speed limit and other hazard signs that might be around. There is also the bicycle lane which is intended for bicycle users only. Some countries have motorcycle lanes to be able to decongestant the roads with motor drivers.
 
But one of the most important lanes that you should account for is the fire lane. If you drive along the urban areas of US, you will encounter this type of lane located near a structure, or even in the middle of the street.
 
In terms of parking, it is illegal to park inside these lanes and doing so will have you arrested and having your car towed away.
 
 
Parking Lot Fire Lane Requirements
 
Commercial buildings have fire lanes in front of them which is usually marked with yellow paint. If you see this lane and you are looking for a parking space, this is not the right place for you to park. On Parking lots, the clearance is between 26 to 32 feet. This is a proper clearance that allows firetrucks to be able to maneuver properly.
 
There are circumstances that fire lanes contain fire hydrants, some have stop signs or flashing signal that indicates it is not an access road. However, the most important thing to consider for the fire lane is the clearance that allows the huge vehicles to move and be able to respond as soon as they can without any hindrances.  

​
​No Parking Fire Lane Signs For Your Parking Lot
 
To able to let the drivers know that a certain spot is not for parking, you need to make sure to provide signages or markings to let them avoid making the mistake. There might be some that are aware of the lines for Fire Lanes, although there are drivers who know about it already. To be safe, you need to place signages to clarify and avoid possible delays when fire occurs.
 
Since it is illegal to park on fire lanes, parking lots usually place signage near the area for fire lanes to make drivers aware to stay away from this area. Some limited parking spaces have a certain jurisdiction how far should parking be from the fire lanes. But, on open roads, the usual clearance is 10 to 20 feet, depending if it is from a fire hydrant, intersection, or stop sign.
 
No Parking Fire Lane - Safety For Your Patrons
 
Providing fire lanes is very essential, especially during dangerous circumstances. That’s why it is very important to place a sign for the fire lane and keep the space empty for safety purposes, particularly in emergency situations. This is to ensure that whenever a crisis happens, a fire truck will be able to access it without delay and ensure to minimize the damage and avoid casualties. 
 
What Is A Fire Lane? 
 
Fire lanes are defined as the roads or passages that enable vehicles such as fire trucks to be able to pass through. Meaning, it’s not a normal line where each kind of vehicle will be able to use it. This kind of lane is made purposely for the sake of fire trucks and other large apparatuses since they are large enough to get 2 normal lanes.
 
Apparently, there are different dimensions depending on the state, but there is a standard procedure to follow when placing a fire lane.
