Auburn, NC Parking Lot Striping

 

​Auburn is an unincorporated area in Wake County, North Carolina southeast of Raleigh. The North Carolina Railroad set up a depot in Auburn, which is halfway between Garner and Clayton. A small community began to grow around the depot which was later annexed into Garner. The Wayland E. Poole House is positioned in Auburn and recorded on the National Register of Historic Places. There are three of the broadcast towers for Triangle area media outlets near Auburn: the WRAL HDTV Tower, the WNCN Tower, and the WTVD Tower. Near Auburn lies the Clemmons Educational State Forest, and the Mount Auburn Training Center, which is used by the Wake County Sheriff's Office. The Mount Auburn Training Center actually used to be the public school house. Two large churches, Springfield Baptist Church, located on Auburn Knightdale Road, and Mt. Moriah Church located on Garner Road are also noticeable landmarks.

Wheel Stops

Wheel stops, also known as parking blocks, are physical barriers which are major components of any well-maintained parking lot whether it be inside or outside. They help keep vehicles in order by prohibiting certain motions in order to: 

•  Warn and stop drivers from causing structural damage within a parking lot 
• Stop improper vehicle encroachment in areas where pedestrians walk 

• Demarcate parking areas and loading zones 
• Prevent collisions between vehicles and walls, as well as vehicles and other vehicles 
•  They also allow easy accessibility for vehicles entering the parking space 
• They allow easy exit for vehicles leaving the parking space 

Also, during the design of the parking lot and the installation of the parking blocks, the designer needs to do a risk-benefit analysis. Irrespective of their age, not every person that uses the parking lot has the same concentration and focus as they access the area.  
Despite the many benefits that parking blocks offer, there is oftentimes the risk of a potential pedestrian accident if parking blocks are not well placed and marked. Hence, it can cause serious injuries.  
​
This can cause the injured pedestrian to sue the owner of the building for compensation or even demand payment from their insurance companies, a case that sometimes becomes controversial during the evaluation process. Therefore, to prevent pedestrian accidents, wheel stops should be appropriately positioned to maintain safe pedestrian passage.

Wheel Stop Dimensions

Wheel stops come in various sizes, and individual sections can be merged to make any required length. According to the standards, wheel stops’ length should be limited to 6 feet in length and 6.5 feet tall. ​
