What does ADA compliance mean for parking lot striping?
The Americans with Disabilities Act sets rules for accessible parking at businesses open to the public. The rules cover how many accessible spaces a lot needs, how wide the spaces and access aisles must be, where they sit in relation to the entrance and the accessible route to the door. Some spaces must work for vans.
The number of spaces depends on the total spaces in the lot. Signs on posts are part of what makes a space legal, and they are usually handled by the property owner or a sign company. Local building codes and state rules may add details.
Our crew lays out accessible stalls, aisles and symbols according to the plan or code you give us, and we point out anything that looks wrong before painting. We are not a substitute for an architect or accessibility consultant on a complex site. Layout changes can mean removing old lines, so ask early.
