Beaverton's parking lots run a particular mix: tech-campus visitor lots in the Cedar Hills and Tanasbourne corridors, dense retail along TV Highway, and a strong drive-thru concentration near the Murray Boulevard intersections. Cojo installs delineators across the city tuned to the lot rather than ordered off a catalog default.
The 60-word direct answer: Cojo installs delineators on Beaverton parking lots, drive-thrus, and pickup zones per MUTCD Section 3F.04 color rules and Beaverton Development Code site-plan review. Standard spec is engineered urethane flex posts on surface-mount spring bases with ASTM D4956 Type IV retroreflective sheeting. Project sizes run 8 to 50 stations.
Why Beaverton Lots Need a Specific Spec
Three Beaverton-specific factors shape the delineator spec on most projects.
- Tech-campus visitor turnover. Visitor parking at Nike, Tektronix, and the Beaverton Round mixed-use blocks sees high vehicle turnover and frequent pickup-zone use. Channelization wears faster than at suburban retail.
- Drive-thru density at intersections. The Murray-Allen and Cedar Hills-Walker corridors pack drive-thrus close together, generating tight queueing geometry that single-spec delineator runs do not handle well.
- Pacific Northwest freeze-thaw. Beaverton averages 15 to 25 freeze-thaw cycles per year on parking-lot pavement per NOAA Pacific Northwest climate data. Polymer recovery memory degrades with cold cycles -- engineered urethane outperforms standard urethane meaningfully through a Beaverton winter.
What Code Applies to Beaverton Parking-Lot Delineator Work?
Two layers stack: federal MUTCD and Beaverton municipal site-plan requirements.
Federal MUTCD
Color rules per MUTCD Section 3F.04: white on the right of travel direction, yellow on the left, blue at hydrants. Sheeting type per ASTM D4956. Crash-test compliance per NCHRP 350 or MASH for any post adjacent to a public street.
Beaverton Development Code
Beaverton site-plan review under the Beaverton Development Code treats parking-lot channelization as a circulation element subject to staff review when the lot connects to a public street. Most channelization specs simply need to demonstrate MUTCD-equivalent compliance; complex tech-campus circulation plans get sent to Engineering Division for sight-distance review.
ADA Accessible Route
ADA Std 402 and ADA Std 307 protruding-object rules apply on any lot with accessible parking. Posts inside an accessible route must have cane-detectable bases or sit fully outside the 27-to-80-inch protruding-object zone.
What Spec Does Cojo Default To on Beaverton Projects?
Standard parking-lot spec for Beaverton:
- Post: 48-inch engineered urethane flex post (drive-thrus 36 inches)
- Base: surface-mount spring base, 4 stainless-steel 3/8-inch wedge anchors
- Sheeting: ASTM D4956 Type IV high-intensity prismatic, top 8 to 12 inches
- Color: white on right of travel, yellow on left, per MUTCD 3F.04
- Spacing: 15 to 25 feet on tangent, 6 to 8 feet on tight curves
Tech-campus drive-thrus get the 36-inch drive-thru spec because customer-vehicle mirrors run lower than the menu-board sight line. Cojo installed a 22-post pickup-zone channel at a Tanasbourne QSR in February 2026 using this spec; the prior 48-inch post run had been clipped 4 times in 8 months by box-truck mirrors.
What Service Areas Does Cojo Cover Around Beaverton?
Cojo's Beaverton work radiates from the metro area and covers:
- Cedar Hills / Sunset corridor
- Tanasbourne and the Westside Express corridor
- Murray-Scholls and the South Cooper Mountain growth area
- Beaverton Round / TV Highway commercial spine
- Cedar Mill (unincorporated Washington County immediately adjacent)
- Aloha
- Garden Home / Raleigh Hills
- Bethany / North Bethany
Same-week mobilization on jobs of 8 posts or more is the norm. Smaller emergency replacements (single-post strikes) batch with adjacent route work.

- 22-post pickup-zone channel, Tanasbourne QSR, February 2026 -- 36-inch engineered urethane on surface-mount spring bases. Replaced 48-inch original spec that had been clipped 4 times in 8 months.
- 14-post drive-thru loop, Murray-Scholls retail center, January 2026 -- 36-inch on tight curves at 6-foot spacing through the order-screen flare, transitioning to 14-foot spacing on the tangent queue.
- 28-post visitor-parking channelization, Cedar Hills tech campus, December 2025 -- 48-inch engineered urethane delineating visitor lanes from employee parking.
How Long Does a Beaverton Install Take?
Crew throughput on a typical commercial Beaverton job:
- Survey and site verification: 1 to 2 hours per lot
- Anchor drilling: 4 to 5 minutes per post (asphalt), 6 to 8 minutes (concrete)
- Base set, post install, sheeting verification: 5 to 8 minutes per post
- Total: 12 to 18 posts per crew-shift on standard surface-mount spec
A 22-post job typically completes in a single 8-hour shift. Tech-campus jobs requiring traffic control around active visitor parking run longer because crew has to phase work around occupied stalls.
What Permits Are Needed for Beaverton Parking-Lot Delineator Work?
Most parking-lot work does not need a separate permit because parking lots are private property. Two exceptions:
- Tenant-improvement permits that include lot work: notification through Beaverton Building Division
- Right-of-way work near a public street: ODOT or Beaverton municipal permit
Cojo handles permit coordination on projects that require it.
