Ada Parking Space

For standard accessible parking spaces the minimum size requirement should be at least 96 inches 8 feet wide and should run the full length of the stall.
Ada parking space. Many state and local governments have their own requirements which may be more specific or more stringent. A 60 inch 5 foot access aisle should be designated adjacent to the parking spot and should lead to an access ramp or accessible entryway. Ada guidelines only require this symbol on the sign but many states do require it to be painted within the parking space as well. Signs should be installed at least 60 inches above the finish floor surface.
The ada standards require that an accessible route connect parking space access aisles to the accessible entrance they serve but they do not specifically prohibit the accessible route from running behind parking spaces. This ada design guide provides key information about how to create accessible car and van spaces and how many spaces to provide when parking lots are restriped. Ada design standards request that signs identifying van parking spaces shall contain the van accessible sign. Accessible parking spaces for cars have at least a 60 inch wide access aisle located adjacent to the desig nated parking space.
Parking space identification must include the international symbol of accessibility. The ada establishes these requirements to ensure that when parking facilities are provided by entities covered by title ii or title iii accessible spaces with certain features are available.
