Parking Lot Bollards, Signage, and Wheel Stops
Steel bollards set in concrete, parking lot signs on posts, and wheel stops pinned to the pavement, supplied and installed for commercial properties across the tri-state region.
At C&C Super Seal, we sell, install, and replace the parts of a parking lot that protect everything else. Bollards stand between a car and your storefront, gas meter, transformer, or EV charger. Signs keep traffic moving the right way, keep fire lanes open, and keep accessible spaces compliant. Wheel stops keep bumpers off the walkway. We install all of it on its own or as part of a paving, sealcoating, or striping project, so the posts go in before the lines do and everything lines up.
We are a family owned and operated commercial asphalt contractor based in Bensalem, PA. We have installed bollards, signs, and wheel stops on commercial lots across Philadelphia, Bucks County, Montgomery County, and South Jersey since 1998.

A bollard is strong because of its footing and its concrete fill. Properly installed bollards are what stop a vehicle.
At C&C Super Seal, every project is important to us. Before drilling or digging, we verify that there are no utilities in the way. We then core or excavate, typically 3 to 4 feet deep or according to the project specifications and code, set the steel pipe plumb, pour the concrete, fill the pipe, and restore the pavement flush. Fixed steel pipe bollards are the standard for storefronts, equipment, and pedestrian areas. Removable and collapsible bollards handle fire lanes and service drives, and sleeves in safety colors eliminate repainting.

Parking Lot Signs and Posts
Parking lot signage supplied and installed, with posts set according to the project and signs mounted at the required height.
We supply and install the signs a commercial parking lot needs: ADA accessible parking signs with van accessible and penalty signs, fire lane signs, no parking and tow-away signs, stop, yield, and directional signs, speed limit signs, customer and employee parking signs, EV charging and curbside pickup signs, and custom signs for your property. Posts are typically set in concrete, depending on the project, and signs are mounted at the height the project calls for.

- Directional and property signsStop, yield, one way, do not enter, speed limit, customer and employee parking, and custom text.
- Sign replacementFaded or bent signs swapped on sound posts, old posts removed and the pavement patched.
Wheel Stops and Curb Protection
The concrete block at the head of a parking space has a dozen names. We supply and pin them, with the striping or on their own.
Wheel stops, also called parking blocks, parking bumpers, car stops, or curb stops, keep a vehicle from creeping into a walkway, landscaping, or the next stall. Standard precast concrete units are about 6 feet long, pinned to the asphalt with rebar or spikes. Rubber and recycled plastic versions are lighter, reflective, and friendlier to plows where the lot is cleared in winter. We set them square to the stall lines so they protect the walkway without eating the space.

Bollard and Signage Questions
What is a bollard, and what is it for?
A short, sturdy post set in the ground to stop or guide vehicles and protect people, buildings, and equipment. In parking lots the most common type is a steel pipe set in a concrete footing and, depending on the project, filled with concrete. Not every bollard is a safety bollard: some are installed as visual indicators to guide traffic or mark an area. Bollards protect storefronts, entrances, and glass from vehicle strikes, shield gas meters, transformers, HVAC units, EV chargers, and dumpster enclosures, separate pedestrians from traffic, and control access at fire lanes and service drives.
What is a security bollard?
A bollard engineered and tested to stop a vehicle at a rated speed. Two ASTM test standards apply. F3016 tests a 5,000 pound vehicle at 10, 20, or 30 mph and is the storefront and pedestrian standard. F2656 tests a 15,000 pound truck at 30 to 50 mph and is the government and critical infrastructure standard. A standard concrete-filled pipe bollard in a parking lot is a safety bollard. It becomes a crash-rated security bollard only when it is installed to one of those tested designs with the matching footing.
How far apart should bollards be placed?
It depends on what they are protecting and what the project calls for. To stop cars along a storefront, bollards are commonly spaced 3 to 5 feet apart, with 4 feet on center a common layout. Where people and wheelchairs pass between bollards, at least 36 inches of clear space is the ADA minimum. Spacing is set by the project specifications and the layout of the site.
How are bollards installed?
Before drilling or digging, we verify that there are no utilities in the way. We then core or excavate, typically 3 to 4 feet deep or according to the project specifications, set the pipe plumb, pour concrete around it, and typically fill the pipe with concrete, depending on the project. Covers or paint go on last. Removable bollards work differently: a sleeve is cast into the concrete footing and the bollard sits in the sleeve, so it can be lifted out when access is needed.
Can bollards be painted or covered?
Both, and it depends on what you want and what the project calls for. Painted bollards give a clean, traditional finish in any color and can be matched to existing bollards on the property. Plastic covers slide over the pipe in safety yellow or your color, hold their color without repainting, and can be swapped quickly if one is damaged. We install either.
What are the concrete barriers in a parking space called?
Wheel stops. You will also hear parking blocks, parking bumpers, car stops, curb stops, and parking curbs; they are all the same thing. Standard precast concrete wheel stops are about 6 feet long, pinned to the asphalt with rebar or spikes. Rubber and recycled plastic versions are available. The larger concrete barriers that separate lanes of traffic are Jersey barriers. We supply and install wheel stops along with striping.
What signs are required at ADA parking spaces?
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, each accessible space has an upright sign with the International Symbol of Accessibility, mounted with the bottom of the sign at least 60 inches above the ground, and van accessible spaces carry an additional van accessible designation. New Jersey also requires a penalty sign, and some Pennsylvania municipalities do too. We install to the current standard or to your project specifications.
What do the different parking signs mean?
Red on white are prohibitions: No Parking, No Standing, No Stopping, Fire Lane, Tow-Away Zone. Green on white are permissions with limits, like 2 Hour Parking or Customer Parking Only. Blue with the wheelchair symbol marks accessible spaces. Arrows show which direction the rule runs from the sign. Private lots use the same colors so drivers read them instantly.
What is a no standing sign?
A regulatory sign that is stricter than No Parking and looser than No Stopping. No Standing means you may stop only long enough to pick up or drop off passengers, with the driver staying in the vehicle. No Parking lets you stop to load or unload passengers or goods but not leave the vehicle. No Stopping means you cannot stop at all except for traffic. They are common at building entrances, drop-off lanes, and loading areas.
Can a regular sign post be used in a parking lot?
Yes. Galvanized U-channel or square tube posts are what we typically use, usually set in concrete depending on the project. The rules are about the sign, not the post: on lots open to the public, signs follow the federal manual's design and reflectivity, and we mount them at the height the project calls for.
How can you get a handicap sign for street parking in front of a home?
That is a municipal request, not something a contractor installs. In Pennsylvania you apply to your municipality, and Philadelphia residents apply through the Philadelphia Parking Authority's reserved residential parking program. In New Jersey, towns establish the spaces by ordinance and you apply through the police department or municipal clerk; most require a valid disability placard or plates. For accessible spaces inside a commercial lot, we install the signs and striping to ADA standards or to your project specifications.
Do you check for utilities before installing?
Yes. Before any coring or excavation, we verify that there are no utilities in the way of the installation.
How much do bollards and signage cost?
Pricing depends on the number and size of bollards, whether they are fixed or removable, the footing each one needs, covers or paint, and the number and type of signs and posts. We quote materials and installation together. Reach out to our team to consult with a professional.
