Traffic Signs & Stencils in Las Vegas, NV

Traffic signs are an integral part of the modern American culture. Almost everyone is familiar with the shapes and colors of stop signs, yield signs, and speed limit signs. However, a hundred years ago, drivers had few signs to help them, and the few that existed were far from uniform. As an increasing number of Americans adopted the automobile as a means of travel, the number of traffic signs also increased. To accommodate the growing number of automobiles, businesses and cities began building parking lots. It did not take long for traffic signs to migrate from public streets to parking lots. Depending on your specific lot, there are many different signs that you might need. Affordable Striping & Sealing has the expertise to help you select the right signs for your parking lot.

Why Should I Install Traffic Signs in My Parking Lot?

You can classify parking lot signage into three broad categories.

1. There are traffic signs that you need to install to comply with federal, state, or municipal regulations. We refer to those as mandatory signs. Examples of mandatory signs include those that denote accessible parking spaces, fire lanes, or loading zones. Sometimes, stop or yield signs are mandatory at the points where your exit drive intersects a public thoroughfare.
2. Optional signs are those that are not necessary to achieve regulatory compliance. However, they are extremely common, and they can be very helpful. Examples of optional signs include those warning that a crosswalk or speed bump lies ahead. Speed limit signs and vehicle weight limit signs are typically optional. You may want to install optional yield and stop signs at various locations in your parking lot to enhance safety.
3. Custom signs are those that property owners use to convey information that tends to be unique to their parking lot. For example, if your lot serves multiple businesses, you could install signs to direct visitors to a specific business.

How Do You Mount Parking Lot Traffic Signs?

There are several options for mounting traffic signs in your parking lot, but the most popular option is a signpost. However, there are also several types of signposts that we can install. You should also note that certain mandatory signs also carry specific regulations for mounting them. When you inspect your parking lot to determine whether there are any signs that you need to replace, be sure to also inspect your signposts.

Can Parking Lot Signs Help Protect Me From Potential Liabilities?

This is a question you should really ask your lawyer. However, anything that makes your parking lot hazardous has the potential to cause legal issues. Signs are just one of the elements that contribute to parking lot safety, but they are one of the most important.
