What happens here
After the asphalt has completely cooled and sufficiently cured (typically 24-72 hours), the parking lot is ready for line striping. Use measuring tapes and chalk lines to accurately mark out parking spaces, handicapped stalls, directional arrows, and fire lanes according to the lot's layout plan. Then, use a specialized line striping machine to apply durable traffic paint. Ensure clean, straight lines and even paint application. Cones are often used to protect the freshly painted lines until they are dry.
Goal: Mark parking spaces and traffic flow for functionality and safety
