Fire Lane Striping in Your Parking Lot

How You Should Establish A Fire Lane in the Parking Lot

​In urban areas, a fire lane is marked near a parking lot near any building. Normal traffic is not allowed to park in the fire lanes to make sure that in case of any emergency the access to safety equipment is done without any hindrance. These lanes are also defined as a passageway to access roads that allow fire department vehicles to pass through easily.

​When a fire lane is designed in any area, there are some requirements that need to be fulfilled first. Since fire trucks and other fire department vehicles are huge, therefore, some adjustments, need to be made for them. Fire lanes also provide a clear space to escape from. Consequently, they need to wider for buildings with large occupancy. 

Parking Lot Fire Lane Requirements

Fire lane markings are required in various locations depending on the land which is being used. These markings are also required for specific fire apparatus access features like turnarounds. The fire department access should be twenty-six feet wide or less on both sides of the road. One side of the fire department access roadways with widths which is greater than twenty-six feet and can go up to thirty-two feet.
​
There are four ways to mark the fire department turnaround when needed for a specific site. The entrance of the turnaround is marked differently depending upon the width of the roadway which can or cannot be based on the zone of the site. Apart from marking the parking area for the fire lane, installing signs are also a requirement. 

Curb Painting Fire Lanes

​The curbs which are designated to be a part of the fire lane area are required to be marked with yellow paint. The pavement in the area which is designated as a fire lane should have written “NO PARKING FIRE LANE” on it. The complete area which falls under the Fire Lane should be painted parallel with the curb and should be at a distance of at least three meters from it. It is important to keep in mind that while painting the words “No Parking Fire Lane” on the pavement, all the letters of the sentence should be written in block letters. The height of each letter should be at least 24 inches, and the brush stroke should not be less than 4 inches.
