Some form of restraining device is needed. Types used include: 2, 3. 4. 5. a. Raised walk. b. Closely spaced posts about 4 feet on center ¢. Wheelstop d. Highway guardrail. Raised walk is best. 2) Wneelstop Grain area can catcn toe. Posts are less desirable than raised walk. a. Drivers shy away from striking, thus sticking farther into access aisle. b. Does not prevent snow melt problems. c. Interferes with snow plowing. d. Lacks flexibility to easily relocate if parking stall widths are changed in the future. Wheelstops alone are less desirable than raised walk. a. Can readily be knocked loose from pins by vehicles or snow plows. b. Most likely to cause trips especially if not centered in parking stalls (stick out into walking area along stall lines between parked cars). c. Interferes with snow plowing. d. Traps blowing debris. Wheelstops should not be used in conjunction with raised walks: a. Increases foot movement when crossing blocks (only un.or down at raised walk ‘b.
