ADA Parking Lot Compliance
In 2010, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was revised to include expanded requirements for all parking lots, even at existing facilities. Is your parking lot compliant with the ADA, as well as state and local regulations? Find out with help from the Veteran team at G-FORCE™.
Make Sure You’re Following ADA Compliant Parking Lot Striping Protocol
ADA parking lot compliance is about so much more than designating a few handicapped parking spots, and unfortunately, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to become compliant. Each individual parking lot or parking garage must be considered on an individual basis. Considerations that must be made include:
- Total number of parking spots (necessary to calculate required minimum total of accessible spaces and van accessible spaces)
- Type of facility (medical facilities require more accessible parking)
- Where accessible spaces are in relation to the facility
- The slope of the surface
- Width of handicapped spaces
- Access aisles for accessible spaces
- Condition of the pavement
In addition to these parameters, property managers must also ensure proper signage is installed and pavement is in good condition in accessible parking spaces, routes, and aisles.
