How It Works
- Event site assessment. We walk the event venue, note the surface type (pavement, grass, gravel, dirt), measure usable area, and work with venue operators to define the parking layout that fits expected vehicle volume.
- Layout design. We draw stall rows, drive aisles, accessible-space counts based on total capacity (following 2010 ADA Standards scaling tables), and event-specific zoning. VIP parking, tour-bus staging, vendor unloading, emergency access.
- Paint and material selection. Pavement uses removable water-based traffic paint that fades in 2 to 8 weeks. Grass and dirt surfaces use chalk-based marking that fades in 2 to 4 weeks or after a significant rain. Gravel uses specialized short-life paint formulations.
- Application. We stripe the event layout 24 to 72 hours before the event opens to the public, using Graco LineLazer equipment for pavement and specialized applicators for grass and gravel.
- Construction-zone MOT. For construction sites, we follow FDOT Maintenance of Traffic standards and MUTCD Part 6 for work-zone striping, detour routing, and pedestrian pathway marking.
- Post-event cleanup. For venues that need the surface cleared faster than natural fade, we return with pressure washing or solvent-based line-removal products.
Central Florida Event Calendar & MOT Requirements
Detroit Tigers Spring Training runs February-March at Publix Field, with overflow parking typically across grass fields on the adjacent campus. Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo (April) at Lakeland Linder International Airport uses temporary striping on grass and gravel overflow lots. The Florida Strawberry Festival (March, Plant City) uses temporary striping across multiple surface types for vendor, VIP, and general public parking. Legoland Florida (Winter Haven) runs peak-weekend overflow events requiring event-specific striping. Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando resort overflow events during peak tourist weeks use temporary striping across shuttle-lot and overflow field venues.
Construction-zone striping follows FDOT Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) standards and MUTCD Part 6 for work-zone traffic control. Along the I-4 corridor, long-duration projects — like the I-4 Beyond the Ultimate work zones. Require phased temporary striping that coordinates with FDOT-approved MOT drawings, detour routing through local streets, and pedestrian pathway marking where work areas cross sidewalks.
Why Choose Us

And scales the scope from a single-day community event to multi-week festival runs and multi-month construction MOT projects. We schedule pre-event striping 24 to 72 hours in advance for most smaller events; larger events need 2 to 4 weeks of planning so materials, color selection, and crew availability align with venue requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Temporary Parking Lot Striping in Lakeland, FL
What is temporary parking lot striping used for?
Temporary parking lot striping supports short-duration events, construction zones, and overflow parking where permanent markings aren’t needed. In Central Florida, common use cases include: overflow parking for Detroit Tigers Spring Training at Publix Field, vendor lots for Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo in April, festival parking for the Strawberry Festival in Plant City each March, construction-zone staging along the I-4 corridor, and event parking at Legoland Florida, Walt Disney World resorts, and Tampa Bay-area venues. 1-800-STRIPER of Lakeland handles all of these.
What surfaces can temporary striping be applied to?
Temporary parking lot striping can be applied to grass, gravel, asphalt, concrete, or any surface — including unpaved overflow fields, pavers, and dirt lots. The paint choice matches the surface: water-based removable traffic paint for pavement, chalk-based marking for grass and dirt, and specialized short-life paint for gravel. The removable formulations are designed to fade or wash away within weeks to months so the underlying surface isn’t permanently marked after the event ends.
How long does temporary striping last?
Temporary striping service life depends on the formulation and surface. Water-based removable paint on pavement typically stays visible for 2 to 8 weeks depending on rainfall and traffic. Chalk-based marking on grass fades in 2 to 4 weeks or faster after a significant rain event. Specialized multi-event paints can be matched to the specific duration needed. For Central Florida events during the June-October hurricane and afternoon-thunderstorm season, we use higher-durability formulations because rainfall shortens the visible life.
Can 1-800-STRIPER of Lakeland handle construction-zone MOT (Maintenance of Traffic)?
Yes. Construction-zone striping in Lakeland follows FDOT Maintenance of Traffic standards and the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Part 6. We stripe temporary traffic patterns, detour routes, work-zone stall lanes, and pedestrian-routing markings during phased construction projects on and off the I-4 corridor. For FDOT and municipal projects, coordination with the general contractor’s MOT plan ensures the markings align with approved traffic control drawings and pass inspection.
How quickly can temporary striping be installed before an event?
Most event temporary striping is scheduled 24 to 72 hours before the event opens to the public. Smaller lots — under 200 spaces — can often be striped the morning before the event if weather cooperates. For large events like Spring Training, Legoland overflow weekends, or festival fields, we scope the work 2 to 4 weeks in advance so materials, paint color, and crew scheduling align with venue requirements. Free pre-event walkthroughs confirm the layout before paint is ordered.
Is temporary striping easy to remove after an event?
Yes — most temporary striping formulations are designed to fade naturally through weathering, UV exposure, and rainfall within weeks of the event ending. For venues that need the surface fully cleared faster, pressure washing or a solvent-based line-removal product accelerates cleanup. On grass and dirt surfaces, chalk-based marking washes away in the next significant rain. 1-800-STRIPER of Lakeland documents the paint type and expected removal timeline in the event scope so venue managers know what to expect. —
