ADA Accessible Parking Spaces

Accessible parking is the part of a lot most likely to be wrong and most likely to be cited. California's requirements — the number of spaces for the lot size, van-accessible spaces, the 8-foot access aisle with its hatching and NO PARKING lettering, the blue pavement symbol, the slope, the posted sign and the tow-away notice — are specific, and a lot that was compliant when it was built often isn't under current code. We lay out and paint accessible spaces to the current California Building Code and ADA standards, and we'll tell you what your lot needs before you order the signs.
