Frequently Asked Questions

What are the ADA requirements for parking lot markings?

ADA requires accessible spaces to be at least 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle. Van-accessible spaces need an 8-foot aisle. Markings must include the International Symbol of Accessibility and 'Van Accessible' where applicable. All spaces require proper signage.

How many handicap spaces does my parking lot need?

ADA requirements vary by lot size. Lots with 1-25 spaces need 1 accessible space; 26-50 spaces need 2; 51-75 need 3, and so on. At least 1 in every 6 accessible spaces must be van-accessible. We calculate exact requirements during your free assessment.

What are the fines for ADA parking violations?

First-time ADA violations can result in fines up to $75,000. Repeat violations can exceed $150,000. Beyond fines, non-compliance exposes you to lawsuits from individuals with disabilities. Proper markings are a small investment compared to potential penalties.

Do you install ADA signage as well as markings?

Yes, we provide complete ADA compliance including ground markings, signage installation, and painted symbols. Signs must be 60 inches minimum height to the bottom. We ensure your entire accessible parking system meets current federal requirements.

How do I know if my current handicap markings are compliant?

We offer free ADA compliance audits. Common issues include faded symbols, incorrect aisle widths, missing van-accessible designations, and non-compliant signage height. Our audit identifies all issues with a clear remediation plan.

What color should ADA access aisles be painted?

ADA access aisles are typically painted with blue or white diagonal striping at 36-inch intervals. The International Symbol of Accessibility should be white on blue background. We follow DOT and ADA guidelines for maximum visibility and compliance.
