When you construct, restripe or repaint your parking lot<\/a>, there are regulations. There is a minimum amount of handicapped spaces and you need to correctly mark them to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Number of Spaces Required<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No matter\nhow many spaces you have, you always have to designate the first space to meet\nthe requirements for van accessibility. When it comes to the number of spaces,\nit depends on the amount of spaces that you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sizing of Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The spaces have to be about eight feet in width. They also have to have an access aisle with about eight feet for van-accessible spaces and five feet for automobile spaces. The access aisle does not intrude into the space and needs to run the entire length of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Likewise,\nthe ADA spaces have to provide access to the building by the shortest and most\ndirect route. If there are curbs in the path, then you have to have a ramp. The\nramp cannot intrude into the parking space or access aisle either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Marking Spaces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n An\ninternational symbol denotes a handicapped space. You need to have the symbol\npainted along with a sign installed on the front of the space. For van\naccessible spaces, the sign must also state that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to marking your spaces for ADA compliancy, it\u2019s important to have a contractor that understands the different laws and guidelines for parking lot striping.
