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

Restriping a Redmond Lot to ADA Standards

In Redmond, most ADA parking problems are striping problems — stalls painted too narrow, access aisles missing their hatching, and wheelchair symbols faded by the Central Oregon sun and scoured by winter sanding. Restriping is the step that turns a non-compliant Deschutes County lot into a compliant one, and for most owners it is the most cost-effective correction available.

This page covers what ADA-compliant striping involves in Redmond. For the legal backdrop, see our Oregon ADA parking compliance pillar; for the dimension and paint specs statewide, our Oregon ADA striping requirements for 2026 guide goes into detail.

What an ADA-Compliant Stripe Job Includes

A correct accessible stall means getting all of these right:

• Stall width: at least 8 feet for a standard accessible space; 8 feet for a van stall with the wider aisle, or 11 feet with a 5-foot aisle.
• Access aisle: 5 feet wide for car stalls, 8 feet for van stalls, with diagonal hatching and ideally "NO PARKING" lettering.
• The symbol: the International Symbol of Accessibility in each stall, white on blue.
• Borders and contrast: blue outlines that stay legible on fresh, dark asphalt.

The access aisle is the part Redmond owners most often misjudge — and like in Bend, snow makes it worse, because an aisle buried under a plow berm stops doing its job. The aisle is the transfer zone a wheelchair user needs beside the vehicle, and it must connect to an accessible route to the entrance. Our ADA access aisle striping spec covers the hatching and shared-aisle rules.

Layout Before Paint

The most valuable step in a Redmond ADA restripe comes before the paint: confirming the layout is correct. Many Redmond lots in the fast-growing highway corridors were striped quickly during build-out and traced over since, carrying forward outdated counts and aisle widths. A proper layout pass checks the accessible count against the total, confirms the one-in-six van ratio, verifies aisle widths and placement, and positions stalls on the shortest accessible route to the entrance.

Paint, Climate, and Durability in Redmond

Redmond's high-desert climate is hard on parking-lot paint, and durability is squarely a compliance issue here because a faded accessible symbol can be cited as a violation. The elevation — around 3,000 feet — brings intense UV that bleaches paint faster than valley sun, and winter sanding operations physically grind at markings all season.

That pushes Redmond owners toward longer-lasting materials more than valley cities. Oil-based traffic paint adheres better than latex, and thermoplastic markings — several times the cost — can hold three to five years even with sanding and traffic, which often pencils out given how short the repaint window is. Timing is critical: the high-desert striping season needs dry pavement and temperatures above 50°F, compressing the work to roughly late spring through early fall. Booking the summer window is essential in Redmond; the cold shoulder seasons won't allow a durable bond.

Restriping After Sealcoat

Redmond owners often pair an ADA restripe with a sealcoat, and the order matters: sealcoat first, cure, then stripe onto the clean dark surface for maximum contrast and adhesion. A fresh sealcoat is the ideal moment to correct an ADA layout because the old lines are gone — a blank slate to fix counts, widen aisles, and reposition van stalls without fighting old paint. With Redmond's short season, bundling both into one summer mobilization is also more efficient.

Striping Your Redmond Lot Right

Whether you are reviving fading markings or rebuilding a non-compliant layout, ADA striping in Redmond means measuring the lot, confirming the layout against current standards, and applying durable paint inside the short dry-season window. A site visit pins down exactly what your lot needs and when it has to happen.
