Pavement markings and stripingPavement markings and striping final inspection checklist
Pavement markings and striping final inspection is where the punch list is either short or expensive. This checklist walks the finished work the way an owner or AHJ will see it: devices on, systems running, everything labeled. Each item gets the photo that closes it instead of reopening it. Work is commonly verified against the applicable accessibility standards and the project specifications. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The GC's superintendent with the striping foreman, walking the finished lot before it opens.
When in the schedule
After application and before the material has fully cured for traffic, so alignment and accessible-stall dimensions can still be corrected.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Line geometry
- 2 photos
Stripe width and alignment
Lines the specified width, straight, and aligned to the layout, with clean starts and stops at each stall.
- 1 photo
Symbols and legends complete
Arrows, accessibility symbols, hatching and any painted legends present, correctly shaped and placed where the plan shows them.
Accessibility
- 2 photos
Accessible stall dimensions and access aisles
Accessible stall and access-aisle widths measured against the applicable accessibility standards, aisles marked and located next to the correct stalls.
- 1 photo
Accessibility signage placement observed
Sign posts located at the head of each accessible stall as shown, mounted where the plan and the accessibility standards place them.
Material performance
- 1 photo
Glass beads and retroreflectivity for the material
Beads applied and embedded evenly where the material requires them so the lines retroreflect, with no bare or over-flooded runs.
- 1 photo
Material cured before traffic released
Markings cured or set enough to take traffic per the manufacturer's published instructions before the lot is opened.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- Accessible stalls striped but the access aisle short of the required width, or the aisle missing its marking entirely.
- Glass beads skipped or applied unevenly on the paint, so the lines don't read under headlights at night.
- Traffic let onto the lot before the material cured, tracking lines across the surface.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 8 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
