Line Striping & Traffic Marking
Floor markings are not a finishing touch — they are a safety and compliance requirement in any commercial or industrial facility with vehicle and pedestrian traffic sharing the same floor space. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 requires that permanent aisles and passageways be appropriately marked. Correct line striping defines traffic flow, separates pedestrian walkways from vehicle lanes, identifies hazardous zones, and prevents accidents that cost facilities far more than the marking itself.
DTI installs interior and exterior line striping and traffic marking systems for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, parking structures, and commercial properties nationwide.
Completed Projects
Crush Fitness
Fitness facilities require floor markings that define activity zones, traffic flow, and safety boundaries — installed on a surface that sees constant foot traffic and regular cleaning with commercial-grade products. DTI marked zone boundaries and safety lines across the facility floor using a durable paint system compatible with the existing concrete surface.
CruFit
Zone marking and traffic flow delineation for a fitness and community facility. DTI coordinated installation to minimize disruption to the facility's operating schedule.
Services
Warehouse and manufacturing floor striping defines pedestrian walkways, forklift lanes, loading zones, staging areas, and restricted access zones. DTI lays out and installs striping to your facility's operational plan — or works with your safety team to develop a layout that meets OSHA requirements and your specific traffic patterns.
Standard OSHA color coding:
Per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.22 — permanent aisles and passageways must be appropriately marked.
Parking stall layout, directional arrows, ADA-compliant accessible stall markings (including required signage dimensions), fire lane markings, and crosswalk delineation for commercial and industrial properties. DTI installs exterior markings using traffic-grade paint and thermoplastic systems rated for vehicle traffic and weather exposure.
High-visibility markings for column bases, floor hazards, equipment perimeters, electrical panels, and emergency egress routes. Installed to OSHA and NFPA standards where applicable.
Facilities running 5S or lean manufacturing programs require precise shadow boxing, equipment footprint marking, and zone identification installed to tight tolerances. DTI has experience marking production facilities to 5S layout specifications — straight lines, consistent widths, clean corners.
Aisle numbering, bay identification, directional arrows, equipment labels, and custom stenciling for warehouses and distribution centers. Installed using durable floor paint that holds up under forklift traffic and regular sweeping.
Materials & Durability
Line striping durability depends on the material specified for the environment.
3–5 years (high traffic)
The standard specification for interior industrial and commercial environments. Bonds directly to concrete and epoxy floors, resistant to forklift traffic and cleaning chemicals.
Interior industrial & commercial
Return to service: 1–2 hours
Fast cure, high abrasion resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. Specified for environments with aggressive cleaning protocols or where downtime for curing is a constraint.
High-turnover environments
5–7 years (exterior)
Heat-applied thermoplastic for exterior parking lots and roadways. More durable than painted markings under vehicle traffic. Standard specification for high-volume parking facilities and loading dock approaches.
Parking lots & loading docks
Reconfigurable
For facilities that require temporary or frequently reconfigured markings — tape is faster to install and remove than painted lines. DTI installs industrial-grade vinyl marking tape rated for forklift traffic.
Flexible / temporary layouts
ADA Compliance
Exterior parking and pedestrian markings must meet ADA Standards for Accessible Design — including stall dimensions, access aisle widths, slope requirements, and signage placement. DTI installs ADA-compliant accessible parking markings and can review existing lot layouts for compliance gaps before installation begins.
ADA Requirements Covered
- Accessible stall dimensions and quantities
- Access aisle widths (van-accessible and standard)
- Slope requirements for accessible routes
- Signage placement per ADA Standards for Accessible Design

Line striping is typically the final step after flooring installation or recoating. DTI can coordinate marking installation as part of a larger flooring project.
