Traffic Signs, Bollards, and Car Stops
Traffic Signs, Bollards, and Car Stops Services in Atlanta, GA
A safe, orderly, visually appealing parking lot starts with a correctly engineered and properly installed pavement. Line striping and pavement markings can enhance the safety, order, and aesthetics of your lot, but there are three additional features you might want to consider if you want to take your Atlanta parking lot to the next level. These three features are car stops, traffic signs, and bollards.
What Are Car Stops?
Car stops, which are also known as bumper blocks or wheel stops, are the rectangular objects at the front of parking spaces. Car stops are typically made from concrete, but rubber and fiberglass are two other materials that are gaining popularity for wheel stops. Car stops can help prevent vehicles from rolling forward in the space, and they can also help drivers position their vehicles properly. Furthermore, car stops help discourage reckless driving maneuvers, including cutting across multiple parking rows or pulling through the space in front. However, to be safe and effective, car stops need to be maintained so that they are visible and do not pose hazards. Misaligned or broken wheel stops should be replaced to avoid tripping pedestrians or damaging vehicles.
What Are Bollards?
Essentially, bollards are posts that extend vertically from the ground. There are many styles of bollards that can be used for various purposes. For example, concrete bollards can protect structures from accidental or intentional damage from vehicles, while steel pipe bollards can make excellent posts for mounting signs. Architectural bollards can be used to define the edges of your sidewalk, or they can be purely decorative. Moveable bollards can be used to close an area temporarily, maintain order among pedestrians waiting in a queue, or section off part of your sidewalk for a charity fundraiser.

What Are Traffic Signs?
In parking lots, traffic signs can serve a variety of purposes. Speed limit signs remind drivers to slow down, while no-parking signs let drivers know where they are not allowed to park their vehicles. Stop signs and yield signs can help prevent fender-benders. There are also signs that are mandatory under the ADA regulations, including those that identify accessible parking spaces. Customized signs can help you deliver information to your visitors, including signs bearing numbers or letters to identify parking aisles, directional signs to help drivers find the nearest exit, or signs warning drivers who are about to park in a tow-away zone. You can also install signs to reserve spaces for key employees, first responders, or customers picking up orders that they placed online.
