| This should give
you an idea what I'm talking about, even though the size of the stripe
might depend on each individual building code. These warning stripes
usually get people's attention, therefore doing their job.
For stairways that run into public sidewalks that are less than a 1:12
slope, a 1 inch minimum and 2 inch maximum slip resistant stripe should
be visible from either direction of the stairway.
In other words you should be able to clearly see this stripe, whether
walking up or down the stairs.
Make sure that you use slip resistant materials. I was walking out of my
apartment one day and slipped on a newly painted red curb, while
carrying a large box. I wasn't injured, but told the maintenance manager
about the problem, even though he never did anything about it
Your local paint supplier should be able to provide you with the right
paint, otherwise contact your local Building and Safety Department for
more information.
