Pavement markings and striping punch checklist

Pavement markings and striping punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens 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 closing striping punch items with the foreman on a callback.

When in the schedule

During closeout, after the lot has seen daylight and a night to reveal thin or crooked lines and any tracking.

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.

01

Line repairs

  • Crooked or thin lines re-run

    Lines that are off-line, too thin or short of coverage corrected to full width and alignment, not just touched up.

    2 photos
  • Tracking and overspray cleaned up

    Dragged or tracked material and overspray outside the masked lines removed or ground off.

    1 photo
02

Completeness

  • Missed stalls and markings completed

    Any stall, aisle, symbol or legend skipped in the first pass added and matched to the rest of the lot before signoff.

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

  • A crooked line painted over rather than removed, so the old shadow shows through the correction.
  • A missed stall or aisle added later in a slightly different width or color that no longer matches the rest of the lot.
