ADA Compliant Handicap Stalls

How many ADA stalls are required in your parking lot?  

This is a frequently asked question. The fact is that ADA 1990 stipulated that a particular number of handicap parking places are required for your parking lot. The two types of handicap stalls available are the van spaces and the regular handicap stalls. According to the act, you are expected to have the two.  

According to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the number of each type of handicap spot you will need is a matter of the number of parking spots you have as a whole—and it even depends on the type of business you are doing in a number of cases.
​
For instance, outpatient medical services are required to have 10 percent of the overall spots intended for accessibility in their parking lots. However, professional estimators are available to help you and also make sure your parking lot meets the ADA standards.


How often should you repaint the Handicap stalls in your parking lot?  
 
It should be noted that handicap stalls in your parking lot offer a sense of safety and organization to your property. Even though there is no direct or simple response to the question of how often should you restripe the handicap stalls in your parking lot, the rule of thumb is that handicap stalls in parking lots should be repainted when the stalls start to fade, or not less than each second year.
 
The expected service life of handicap stalls is dependent on frequency of use, traffic patterns, and weather.


 Detailed Requirements for ADA Handicap Stalls in a Parking Lot  
-  The Size - The measurements for your accessible parking stalls are quite essential. These spots must be a minimum of 96 inches wide having a 60-inch wide and 20-foot long adjacent aisle. The van spaces must be a minimum of 132 inches wide; apart from situations where the aisle is big enough for a 96 inches wheelchair lift.

-  Signs - There are particular regulations for signs for accessible stalls. You must maintain the international symbol for accessibility, while the sign must be high enough to be seen above parked vehicles—plus, it must indicate if the spot is van accessible.
​
-  The Entrances – You are required to have accessible parking very close to each door if you have many entrances to your building. This guarantees that you are following the equality and providing everyone the opportunity of getting in and appreciating your high standards--and, it is a sign and message that you are particular about treating everyone well.
