resistant to salt, oils, moisture, and chipping.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Sustainability:<\/strong> Diverts 10-40 lb of plastic from landfills per block and avoids cement-related emissions.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><strong>Installation:<\/strong> Easily anchored with rebar spikes or lag bolts\u2014no heavy equipment needed.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10139 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.trafficsafetystore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plastic-commercial-menu-860x1120-1-230x300.webp\" alt=\"plastic parking blocks\" width=\"280\" height=\"365\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafficsafetystore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plastic-commercial-menu-860x1120-1-230x300.webp 230w, https:\/\/www.trafficsafetystore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/plastic-commercial-menu-860x1120-1.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 85vw, 280px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 280px;
