Access Aisle Stencil | ADA Accessible Handicap Parking
What is an Accessible Aisle?
"When a business, State or local government agency, stripes a parking lot, it must provide accessible parking spaces as required by the ADA Standards for Accessible Design. Failure to do so would violate the ADA. In addition, businesses or privately owned facilities that provide goods or services to the public have a continuing ADA obligation to remove barriers to access in existing parking lots when it is readily achievable to do so." (ADA Design Guide)
The accessible aisle is an area next to handicap parking spaces that allows space for people with wheelchairs or other mobility enhancing devices to exit their cars or vans.
- For car-accessible spaces, the aisle is a minimum 5 feet wide and is marked clearly as a no parking area.
- For Van Accessible spaces the width is a minimum of 8 feet wide and is marked clearly as a No Parking area.
