ADA Handicap Marking
Accessibility
ADA handicap parking ensures that people with disabilities can access buildings, services, and activities. Without designated parking spaces, individuals with mobility impairments may struggle to find parking close enough to safely and conveniently reach their destination.
Compliance with Law
Providing ADA handicap parking is not just a good practice but also a legal requirement. Non-compliance can result in significant fines and legal repercussions for businesses and public entities.
Safety
These parking spaces are designed with extra space to accommodate vehicles equipped with ramps or lifts, reducing the risk of accidents and making it easier for individuals to enter and exit their vehicles safely.
Visibility
Clearly marked handicap spaces improve the overall safety of the parking lot. They enhance visibility, making it easier for both drivers and pedestrians to identify safe areas and avoid parking in restricted zones.
Independance
Accessible parking promotes the independence of people with disabilities by providing the means to travel and park closer to their destination without needing assistance.
Proximity to Entrance
Accessible parking spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to the accessible entrance of the building or facility.
