Concrete Wheel Stops in Memphis, TN
The next thing to consider after striping your parking lot is wheel stops.Also called parking blocks, tire stoppers, wheel stoppers, and curb stops, they are small barriers installed at the top of parking spaces to signal drivers when they’ve reached the edge. This helps prevent vehicles from parking on sidewalks or entering medians or other restricted areas – creating an organized parking area while reducing the risk of damage to vehicles, landscaping, and structures.
Wheel stops help prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian areas and ADA compliant pathways. They are also designed to protect parked vehicles and nearby infrastructure – like landscaping, signs, and utility poles – from being hit by cars. Most municipalities mandate the use of wheel stops.
