Common examples of ADA compliant parking lot construction include handrails, elevators, automatic doors, and similar fittings. But specifically for parking lots, ADA compliancy focuses on a different set of mobility and accessibility features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:19px\">Continue reading to review some frequently asked questions about ADA parking lot compliance in Indiana, including who to trust for superior commercial paving and repair services near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-1024x672.jpg\" alt=\"ADA Compliance Paving Indianapolis IN 317-549-1833\" class=\"wp-image-1743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-1536x1008.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN-457x300.jpg 457w, https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ADA-Compliance-Paving-Indianapolis-IN.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>ADA Compliance Paving Indianapolis IN 317-549-1833<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:25px\"><strong>ADA parking lot compliancy FAQs<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is an ADA Compliant Parking Lot?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common features of an ADA compliant parking lot include ADA ramps, stairs with handrails, vocalized traffic signals, parking lot signage, and a particular number of designated parking spaces with very specific dimensions and accessibility features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does the Law Require ADA Parking Lot Compliancy in Indiana?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Indiana law does require that public parking lots are and remain ADA compliant. However, the degree of ADA compliancy varies among jurisdictions. It is important to check with your particular county to ensure that your parking lot blueprints are in accordance with all local and state building codes and ADA compliance regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Many Spaces Does an ADA Compliant Parking Lot Have?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aciindiana.com\/blog\/how-many-parking-spaces-must-a-parking-lot-have-to-be-ada-compliant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">number of parking spaces your parking lot must have in order to be ADA compliant<\/a> will depend on the parking lot\u2019s size. Keep in mind that the required number of parking spaces for ADA compliancy is a minimum recommendation, and oftentimes, commercial builders add more parking spaces to ensure better accessibility for disabled persons and drivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your parking lot has 1 to 25 parking spaces, then at least 1 space needs to be ADA compliant in terms of size and accessibility. If your parking lot has 25 to 50 parking spaces, then you will need at least 2 parking spaces that are ADA compliant. The number of ADA compliant parking spaces increases by every 25 parking lot spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is an ADA Compliant Parking Space?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are four primary elements of an ADA compliant parking space: pavement slope, dimension, signage, and pavement markings. An ADA compliant parking space cannot be too steep or have too much of a slope, as this is not a stable and easily accessible platform for disabled or handicapped person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, an ADA compliant parking space must also have dimensions that are wide enough to support wheelchair lifts and automatic side door access, as well as large handicap accessible vehicles. The general rule of thumb is to have a parking space that is at least 8 feet wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADA compliant parking spaces must also have proper signage to designate that space for disabled drivers and persons, and the signs must be at least 12 x 18 inches so that they are easily visible. ADA compliant spaces must also be properly marked with the correct colors and hues of parking lot paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Do I Need to Remodel My Parking Lot So That It Meets ADA Compliancy Standards?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if your parking lot is not already ADA compliant, or could use some improvement in the ADA compliancy area, it is important to start planning a pavement resurfacing or repair.
