Jonesboro lots we stripe
Arkansas State University has student, staff and event parking that sees heavy use, especially on game days. St. Bernards Medical Center and NEA Baptist Memorial Hospital both have large lots with visitor traffic and a lot of accessible parking. On these lots, clear stalls, arrows, crosswalks and fire lanes keep things moving when the lot is full and people are in a hurry.
Jonesboro also has a busy retail area around the Mall at Turtle Creek and along the main commercial roads, with strip centers, restaurants and big box stores. Add churches, schools, apartment complexes and the plants and warehouses on the edges of town, and there is a wide mix. Industrial sites often need floor striping inside too, with lane and bay lines and yellow safety lines along walkways.
Weather and wear in northeast Arkansas
Northeast Arkansas gets hot, humid summers and plenty of rain, plus cold snaps in winter that the Delta farther south sees less of. Heat and sun fade paint. Freezing and thawing open cracks in older asphalt, and water gets in. Lines wear fastest at entrances and drive lanes where cars turn, and sand and grit tracked in from the roads grind them down.
We schedule striping for dry pavement and decent temperatures so the paint sets right. If your lot is being sealcoated, we stripe after the sealer is ready. Where cracks and broken edges run under the lines, we can do minor asphalt and concrete repair first. That keeps fresh paint from sitting on spots that are about to come apart.
Fire lanes and ADA stalls in Jonesboro
Arkansas has a statewide fire code. The Arkansas Fire Prevention Code is based on the 2021 International Fire Code and is administered by the Arkansas State Fire Marshal. It took effect January 1, 2023. Under the IFC, fire apparatus access roads generally need at least 20 feet of clear width, and the fire code official can require NO PARKING FIRE LANE signs or markings. Check with the Jonesboro Fire Department on what your site needs.
Accessible parking follows the 2010 ADA Standards. Each accessible stall needs a marked access aisle at least 60 inches wide, and at least one of every six accessible stalls must be van accessible. Stalls and aisles cannot slope more than 1:48, and signs go at least 60 inches high to the bottom. We lay out the stalls, paint the symbol and stripe the aisle.
