Commercial spaces experience constant foot and vehicle traffic throughout the day. Banks are no different, which means they need reliable places for vehicles to drive and park and guests to walk. At American Asphalt, we provide a wide range of asphalt paving services for businesses in New Jersey, southern New York State, Southeast Pennsylvania, and northern Delaware. Here, we explore bank parking lot paving and the challenges that may accompany it.

What Are Some Common Challenges of Bank Parking Lot Paving?

Banks and other financial institutions can be found in nearly every town in the country. They are designed to accommodate everyone in the community, which means paving companies need to plan them out to meet certain requirements. While banks are extremely common, there are a few aspects of their design that might pose a challenge during the paving process. These include:

Size

Like other commercial spaces, bank parking lots will need parking areas. The number of available parking spaces will depend on the institution’s typical visitor volume, the size of the available space, and several other factors.

Many times, banks don’t have a very large plot of land to work with, so pavers will have to be sure to provide enough space for the facility’s necessities within a small area. This, along with the fact that customers are constantly coming and going throughout the day, means that paving teams need to plan carefully to ensure that all the business’s needs and government standards are met.

Traffic Flow

Another consideration for asphalt paving at banks is the traffic flow. Unlike many commercial facilities, banks aren’t open into the evening, and visitors don’t often stay for more than a few minutes. That means that banks will have more concentrated traffic during operating hours. A company like American Asphalt that can perform during off standard business hours may be needed.  

ADA Compliance

Pavement companies don’t only provide smooth, solid surfaces to walk and drive on. They are also relied upon to provide lines and other markings on these surfaces to help visitors and employees know where to go and where to avoid. Since banks are public businesses, they need to have handicapped spaces as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Therefore, pavers will need to consider proper line striping and marking before and after paving to ensure the bank stays in compliance with the law.

One-Way Traffic

Banks also have a lot of customers who aren’t expecting to enter the building. Therefore, maintaining access to drive-throughs is critical. These areas are critical components to a successful project, so you’ll want to trust a team of professionals that will carefully assess your needs before getting to work. Paving companies may also address wear and tear in drive-throughs caused by excessive use and cars traveling in only one direction. They may need to provide additional services besides paving, such as sealcoating and crack sealing.
