…2 unchanged lines
description: >
When to use: Exterior pavement markings and site traffic and regulatory signage for commercial, institutional, and industrial site work, including parking lots, drive lanes, loading and service areas, fire lanes, and private site roadways. Covers marking material selection (waterborne traffic paint, hot-applied thermoplastic, preformed thermoplastic and preformed marking tape, and durable epoxy and methyl methacrylate cold-plastic markings) and where each material fits; retroreflective glass beads, intermixed and drop-on; marking colors, widths, and meanings per the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD); parking stall layout, directional arrows, stop bars, crosswalks, and word and symbol legends; accessible (ADA) parking spaces, access aisles, the International Symbol of Accessibility, and accessible space counts; surface preparation and the cure age of new pavement before marking; site traffic and regulatory signs (stop, accessible parking, speed, and directional) with their MUTCD designations; sign sheeting retroreflectivity, sign substrate, posts and footings, and mounting height and lateral placement; and fire-lane markings and signage. Intended to be read alongside the civil site plan and the signing and striping plan, which carry the project-specific marking and sign locations, the stall layout, and the accessible parking count.
− Not intended for: interior building signage, room identification, and wayfinding (see [[syncs/signage]]); athletic court and game-line striping; permanent roadway and highway signing and striping performed under a state or federal DOT contract to that agency's standard specifications and standard drawings, although those documents are referenced herein as accepted industry practice; permanent traffic signals, illuminated signs, and overhead sign structures; and the asphalt and concrete pavement that receives the markings (see [[syncs/asphalt-paving]] and [[syncs/concrete-paving]]).

## Where this standard and the governing code, the MUTCD, the ADA Standards, or the fire code conflict, the more stringent requirement shall govern unless the Engineer of Record directs otherwise in writing.
−## The Contractor shall coordinate work under this standard with [[syncs/asphalt-paving]] and [[syncs/concrete-paving]] for the cure age and surface condition of the pavement to be marked, with [[syncs/signage]] for the transition between site signage and building signage, and with [[syncs/fencing-and-gates]] where gate and bollard locations affect sign placement and fire-lane geometry.

## Normal wear from traffic and routine renewal of paint markings at the end of their service life are Owner maintenance obligations and are not warranty items.
## The warranty does not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for an accessibility or fire-code non-conformance, which shall be corrected regardless of when it is discovered.
