What are Concrete Parking Stops

Concrete parking stops are the little concrete columns you see at the ends of parking spaces. They’re typically white, and they look like this:

They don’t seem to serve any purpose beyond decoration, but in reality, they’re vital for keeping you safe. If a car were to try to pull into a space that has a concrete parking stop on either side, it would get stuck in the middle due to the way that parking stops are built.

There’s a narrow space where two cars can fit side by side, but since one of them is missing its parking stop on one side, it would get stuck trying to squeeze through. This is obviously very unsafe for anyone who’s behind the wheel of one of those cars.

As such, whenever you’re driving around and you’re looking for a spot to park your car, make sure that there are no concrete parking stops on either side of the space you choose to pull into.

You might think that it makes sense to park so that your vehicle isn’t blocking anyone’s driveway or entranceway—in fact, if there are some parked cars nearby and their drivers aren’t paying attention, it can be easy to accidentally block their path out—but what you’ll find is that doing this will almost always mean that there will

Concrete parking stops are concrete blocks that are used to prevent cars from parking too close to the ends of a parking lot line. Parking too close to the ends can make it difficult for emergency vehicles to enter and exit the lot, and can even cause accidents if someone tries to park there. Parking stops are used in parking lots so that drivers know where they should stop.

Concrete Parking Stop Uses

A concrete parking stop is a fixture that’s part of the curb used to mark off a section of parking space. These are painted orange and are present in most major cities’ residential areas.

The purpose it serves is to avoid confusion over which parking spaces are available for use, but also to avoid traffic accidents by clearly defining the boundaries of each spot. Parking stops are essential for drivers and pedestrians alike to ensure safety in these heavily-trafficked areas, and they can sometimes be an important factor in damage control if an accident does occur.

Parking stops are also one of the most affordable ways to protect your property against damage caused by cars. If your car has been damaged by another driver’s vehicle, it might be covered under your insurance policy, but it can be difficult to prove fault in collisions involving multiple parties.

The presence of a parking stop can make that process much easier. If there’s no sign demarcating the boundary of where your property ends, there’s no way for insurance companies to tell whose fault it is—even if you have footage from a security camera showing the other person’s car driving over your lawn or hitting a fence post, it’s still up for interpretation. Even if there is a concrete parking stop at the edge

Parking stops are a common sight in the city. Small concrete pillars with flat tops and small bumpers attached to either side of their base, they’re designed to prevent cars from encroaching on areas designated for pedestrian use.

The bumpers act as bollards: when hit hard enough, they will pop off. The rest of the stop will remain in place, marking an area that should not be driven on by any vehicle larger than its bumper is tall–1 meter (39 inches).

Parking Lot Striping Stencils in Phoenix

Parking lot striping stencils are a common order for Moyers Contracting.  These were pretty straight forward.  “Preschool Parking Only” in a 12″ tall letter.  Basic white Ennis Flint fast dry traffic paint.  On many of our stencil jobs, we make the stencils so that they are one continuous segment.  This ensures that they are all straight and spaced in a uniform manner.

We can stencil numbers, letters, and numbers with letters as well as several other types.  Here are a few more examples of what we have done in the past.

Parking Lot striping stencils

This was done a Saint Francis Xavier Elementary school off Central Avenue in Phoenix.

At Moyers Contracting we always want our work to be straight and uniform.  We always measure out the stalls or the area that will take the stencils.  We then lay down a chalk line and use that as a guide.   Re-painting stencils can be challenging because most of the time our stencils won’t match the existing ones.  Our solution is to paint a box over the old one and then repaint the new ones on top of that.  This looks really clean and it solves the stencil request.

We get asked from time to time, how to make parking lot stencils.  We have a proprietary method that we’ve been perfecting over the last three decades and it works well for us and we can make stencils that are required on each job as the jobs come up.  We also get asked from time to time, where we buy our stencils.  We make them for our jobs, but not for sale.  Other striping companies will take a letter and number set of stencils and try to line them up and it just doesn’t look very professional.  Then they try to line up several of them; say “doctor parking only” on ten stalls and if you look down the line, they clearly look poorly pieced together.

Removable Pipe Bollards in Scottsdale

We were hired to install several removable pipe bollards in Scottsdale Arizona at a Jewish Community Center.  This job is located near Scottsdale Road and Sweetwater Road.  The Center was concerned about the safety of the children and wanted them installed in critical locations.  One location was near the outdoor play area so that no one could just drive in to the area.  Another area was in front of the school entrance and in entrance to a gate.

These particular removable pipe bollards (shown unfinished) are 8″ in diameter and 36″ above grade.  The bollard sleeves are 18′ deep.  Moyers Contracting always puts a locking hasp on the pipe to keep them secure.  However, we have made some without it.  It is something to think about since several bollards that we installed years ago were stolen from the job.  Locking them up keeps them in place and keeps unauthorized users from removing them.  These were welded Miller welding equipment.

We design and fabricate them so that when they are in the out position, a vehicle can easily drive through the area since they are flush with the concrete.

We’ve fabricated removable locking bollards using 4″, 6″, and 8″ pipe.  Our method is to leave them hollow so that they can more easily be removed and weld and steel cap.  This makes them more safe and keeps things from being put inside them.  We can make standard bollards that are concrete filled also.  Painted yellow or a basic color of your choosing.  Some clients want the bollards to have a plastic cover and we can provide those also in several colors.  Let us know if you need a price on removable pipe bollards or regular ones.

Phoenix Parking Lot Striping at a Veterinarian’s Office

Parking lot striping and bumper curb Phoenix AZ

 

This was a smaller job which had about 15 regular parking stalls, 1 handicap symbol (ADA) stall with a handicap sign, and we re-set15 concrete bumper curb stops.  Hopefully you can see the chalk lines at the end of the stalls.  Our method is to chalk a baseline on every job so we know how long to make the lines.  We also tape the end of the line to catch the over spray so we get a clean line, not many other companies do this .

At Moyers Contracting, we are known for our quality and workmanship.  It takes more time and effort, but the results are worth the effort and our customers are always pleased with our work.  The parking lot paint that we used is made by Ennis Flint and it’s a fast dry paint that has a nice sheen to it.  Let us know if you need your parking lot striped in Phoenix or anywhere in the Valley and surrounding areas.

All municipalities require there to be certain distances and certain layout elements for parking lots.  Typically, stall lengths should be at least 16.5′ long and 9′ wide.  Phoenix handicap stalls should be 11′ wide with a 5′ crosshatch walkway.  Notice the striped line a the bottom of the handicap stall.  That is a Phoenix requirement.
