ADA Parking Striping in Keizer, Oregon: Bringing Your Lot Up to Code

Restriping a Keizer Lot to an ADA-Compliant Layout

When the accessible symbol in a Keizer parking lot has faded to a faint outline, or an access aisle has worn to a few pale lines, the lot is out of code — even if nothing about the layout has changed. Restriping is the fastest, lowest-cost way to bring a Marion County lot back into compliance, and for most properties along River Road, Cherry Avenue, or at Keizer Station it is the only work required. This guide covers what an ADA-compliant restripe includes, what the paint must deliver, and how the valley climate shapes the timing.

A restripe is not a full compliance overhaul. It refreshes and corrects the markings on a lot whose underlying layout, counts, and grades are sound. If your lot is also short on accessible stalls or has slope problems, those are separate fixes, covered in our ADA parking compliance guide for Oregon.

What an ADA Restripe Has to Include

A compliant ADA restripe answers to the 2010 ADA Standards and Oregon's ORS 447.233. Each element below has to be right.

Accessible Stall Markings

Each accessible stall must be striped to at least 8 feet wide. The International Symbol of Accessibility is painted in the stall, usually white on a blue field, centered so it reads to drivers and isn't blocked by a vehicle overhang. Faded or partial symbols are non-compliant, so a restripe repaints them at full opacity.

Access Aisles

The aisle beside each stall is striped with diagonal hatching and a NO PARKING legend so no one blocks the space a wheelchair user needs to deploy a lift or ramp. Standard stalls take a 5-foot aisle; van stalls take an 8-foot aisle (or the 11-foot-stall-plus-5-foot-aisle alternative). Our ADA access aisle striping spec details the hatch spacing, legend, and shared-aisle rules.

Van Designation

At least one in every six accessible stalls must be van-accessible, marked with the wider aisle and a "Van Accessible" sign. A restripe is the moment to confirm your van count and widen an aisle if the lot was striped under older ratios — relevant for the larger Keizer Station lots where the van count steps up.

Layout Verification

Before paint touches asphalt, a careful contractor confirms the existing layout still meets the standards — stall widths, aisle widths, the count, and the slope. Restriping over a non-compliant layout just repaints the violation. The full 2026 checklist is in our ADA striping requirements for 2026.

Paint and Materials for Keizer's Climate

Keizer sits in the wet mid Willamette Valley, where a long rainy season and steady UV fade traffic paint faster than property owners expect. Standard water-based latex is the common, economical choice, but in the valley it can wash pale within a couple of years — and the high turnover of the River Road and Keizer Station lots speeds the wear further. Owners who want longer intervals between restripes often step up to a higher-durability paint or add reflective glass beads for rainy-night visibility. Whatever the product, the blue and white of accessible markings must stay sharp and high-contrast, because a faded symbol invites a complaint.

Timing is the other valley constraint. Traffic paint needs dry pavement and temperatures comfortably above 50°F, which in Keizer means a striping window running roughly late spring through early fall. Summer slots fill fast, so booking ahead secures both the dates and the dry conditions you need.

Restripe vs. New Layout

If your Keizer lot has a sound, compliant layout and just needs fresh, code-correct markings, a restripe follows the existing lines and corrects the accessible elements — the fast, economical path. If the lot was never professionally laid out for ADA, or an audit found the count, aisle widths, or slopes out of tolerance, a new layout is the better investment. A new layout includes measuring, planning, and chalk-lining before paint, and it is the chance to maximize stall count while guaranteeing compliance. General striping pricing for the area is on our parking lot striping in Keizer page.

Sequencing With Sealcoat

If you are sealcoating, stripe after the sealcoat cures, not before. A fresh, dark surface gives the accessible markings better adhesion and far stronger contrast — the blue and white pop against clean black asphalt, which matters in the valley's gray, rainy light. Restriping a lot you sealcoated last season is also a natural moment to bring the accessible layout fully up to code in one visit.

Get Your Keizer ADA Striping Done Right

An ADA restripe is precise work. The dimensions, the symbol placement, the aisle hatching, and the van designation all have to meet the standard — a lot that looks freshly painted but misses a measurement is still non-compliant. Cojo Excavation & Asphalt restripes Keizer and Marion County lots to a code-correct ADA layout, verifying the count, widths, and slopes before the paint goes down.
