There are additional standards for the dimensions and placement of the wheelstops within the stall. The goal is that the wheelstop is completely covered by the car when the stall is occupied, eliminating hard to see tripping conditions on either side of the vehicle. Illumination is also recommended at wheelstop locations to improve visibility.

None of these installation methods is maintenance free or foolproof. Wheelstops epoxied to the parking lot may be knocked loose, taking the parking surface with it. If the wheelstop is bolted or otherwise mechanically anchored even small, but repeated, impacts can damage paving around the anchor. This type of damage creates paths for water penetration which can then create additional tripping hazards.

Standards citing that wheelstops should be avoided state that they should not be placed in pedestrian walkways or foreseeable pedestrian paths.
