Frequently Asked Questions
Standard carpark arrows are 2.5m long as specified in AS/NZS 2890.1. For higher-speed areas or long approach distances, we use larger arrows up to 4m. For tight spaces, we can use reduced arrows down to 1.5m while maintaining proportions.
Stop bars should be placed where a stopped vehicle has clear sight lines to approaching traffic without blocking the intersection. Typically 1-2 metres back from the intersection edge, adjusted based on actual sight distances at your facility.
A stop bar is a solid line requiring vehicles to stop completely. A give way line is typically dashed or accompanied by a give way symbol, requiring drivers to yield but not necessarily stop if the way is clear. We'll recommend which is appropriate for each location.
Yes, we mark on concrete, asphalt, and sealed surfaces. Surface condition affects adhesion and durability. We'll assess your surface and recommend appropriate preparation and materials for lasting results.
Paint arrows in high-traffic areas typically last 12-24 months. Thermoplastic arrows last 3-5 years in similar conditions. We recommend thermoplastic for main circulation arrows and paint for lower-traffic areas to balance cost and durability.
Yes, warehouse arrow marking is a significant part of our work. We use high-visibility yellow or white for forklift aisles, often with wider lines and larger symbols than carpark applications due to the different operating environment.
