Grocery Store Parking Lot Striping in Fairview, Oregon: 2026 Service Guide

A grocery store lot handles more vehicles, carts, and pedestrians per hour than almost any commercial property in town. Shoppers pull in and out constantly, carts move across drive aisles, delivery trucks hit the dock on a schedule, and curbside pickup adds a whole second traffic pattern. Fairview grocery sits in the NE Halsey Street and 223rd Avenue mixed-use blocks around Fairview Village, serving Multnomah County households across the east-metro and Blue Lake neighborhoods. The striping has to organize all of it.
The defining challenge is pedestrian and cart safety inside a high-turnover lot. Crosswalks, cart corrals, fire lanes, and the curbside zone all have to be marked clearly so shoppers, carts, and vehicles stay separated through a busy weekend.
Cart corrals are a striping decision as much as a fixture one. Placed well, they keep loose carts off the rows and give shoppers a short walk to return them. We stripe the corral footprints out in the parking field, spaced so no stall is far from one, and mark them so a corral never eats a drive aisle or blocks sightlines. Good corral placement directly reduces the runaway-cart damage that plagues grocery lots.
Curbside pickup is now standard, and it needs dedicated, clearly marked stalls near the storefront. We stripe numbered pickup stalls with bold stencils and signage so the system works: a shopper parks in the right number, staff find them, and the spot turns over fast. On Fairview's mixed-use lots, placing those stalls where they do not block the main entrance flow is the key call.
The stretch between the parking field and the store entrance is where pedestrians and vehicles meet, so it needs strong crosswalk striping. We mark bold, high-visibility crosswalks from the accessible stalls and main rows to the door, plus the ADA accessible stalls themselves with access aisles, the access symbol, signage, and an unobstructed path of travel. Fairview stores follow federal ADA standards alongside Oregon's striping rules.
Grocery stores have fire lanes along the storefront that must stay clear for emergency access, and those are enforced. We paint the fire-lane curbs in the required color with NO PARKING / FIRE LANE stencils so the lane reads unmistakably and stays open. Faded fire-lane paint is a common code-enforcement flag, and we keep it sharp.
Grocery stores take frequent, large deliveries, and the dock approach has to stay open for trucks to back in. We stripe a keep-clear zone at the dock with bold hatching so the truck path is never blocked by a parked car or a stray cart. The delivery flow is kept separate from the shopper and curbside zones so the two never collide.
