MAPA Parking Lot Guide

Asphalt parking lots enable the use of high amounts of recycled materials that can deliver exceptional smoothness and durability when properly designed and constructed.

Businesses understand the importance of first impressions. The parking lot serves as a crucial gateway to this first impression. Make sure your parking lot is prepared with quality materials to be both eye-appealing and represent your company’s image.

Today’s parking lots are engineered with the latest advances in sustainable materials and mechanistic-empirical design principles. While the needs of motorists in light vehicles must be met, parking lots must simultaneously hold up to the demands of regularly scheduled truck deliveries, snow removal, and occasional overloads.

This publication provides owners, architects, and engineers guidance on the design and construction of high-quality asphalt parking lot pavements in Missouri.
