Parking Lot Striping in Phoenix, AZ

Fire lanes in Phoenix

Phoenix Fire Department says fire lanes are identified by a red curb and a fire lane sign, and that some curbs also have the words "FIRE LANE" painted on them. Its Emergency Access Detail Book (Chapter 1, Fire Lane Standards) covers signs, red curb striping, hydrant access and alternative fire lane markings. On new-construction site plans, Phoenix Fire also asks to see a "No Parking Fire Lane" stencil in front of private hydrants and a blue reflector in front of hydrants.

Before you restripe in Phoenix

• Use the Phoenix Fire Department Emergency Access Detail Book as the reference for fire lane signs and red curbs.
• Same layout, fresh paint: restriping over the existing approved layout usually doesn't change your site plan. If stall counts, drive aisles, ADA spaces or fire lanes move, ask the city whether a revised site plan or fire review is needed first.
• ADA spaces: restriping counts as an alteration, so accessible spaces and access aisles must meet the 2010 ADA Standards when they're repainted.
