Parking lots play a large role in a company\u2019s overall success. They provide function, convenience, efficiency, and even safety and security. For these reasons and more, it is vital to preserve your commercial or industrial parking lot by implementing routine maintenance, including inspections and repairs-as-needed. In fact, the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, derived from the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), requires that parking lots meet certain qualifications that better serve individuals with disabilities. Such requisites include handicap-accessible parking, entrances, and exits, as well as, walkways, roadways, ramps, and more, for any facility built after March of 2012.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But even with all of these features incorporated into a lot, the number and types of accessible parking spaces also matter. Specific rules and regulations apply when allocating handicap-accessible parking spaces, but many proprietors mistakenly overlook this ADA-compliancy standard, which can put them at risk of being in violation of city codes and ordinances, and consequently, subjected to heavy fines ranging from $1,500 to $10,000 or higher. As a commercial or industrial property owner, you may need to renovate or rebuild your parking lot if it does not meet these standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue reading to learn exactly how many and which types of accessible parking spaces your commercial or industrial lot must have to remain ADA-compliant at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADA-Compliant Parking Lots<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the number of accessible parking spaces, ADA regulations also govern stall sizes and road markings. When it comes to the number and types of accessible parking spaces for a commercial parking lot, the leniency or stringency of enforcing ADA compliancy will differ among localities and state governments. However, the standard qualifications for accessible parking spaces for cars and vans established by the ADA are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 The United States Access Board mandates that parking lots should have a stated number of handicap-accessible parking spaces based on the overall number of available spaces. They further require that, for every 6 handicap-accessible spots, there should be 1 van-accessible parking spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 Medical facilities that offer outpatient care must have at least 10% more accessible parking spots for handicap and disabled individuals. Likewise, rehabilitation and physical therapy centers must have 20% more handicap-accessible spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2756 Parking lots that are used solely for police vehicles, buses, delivery trucks, and service vehicles do not require handicap-accessible parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADA Minimum Quantity of Handicap-Accessible Parking Spots:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
