What Are the Handicap Parking Requirements?

ADA parking requirements include the enforcement of a property’s number of handicapped parking spots. The number of handicapped parking spots varies from building type and the total number of parking spaces provided in a given lot. 

Here are some official examples: 

  • 1 to 25 parking spaces provided in a parking lot or facility must have a minimum of 1 accessible parking space.
  • 76 to 100 parking spaces provided in a parking lot or facility must have a minimum of 4 accessible parking spaces.
  • 201 to 300 parking spaces provided in a parking lot or facility must have a minimum of 7 accessible parking spaces.
  • 501 to 1000 parking spaces provided in a parking lot or facility must have a 2% minimum of that number in accessible parking spaces.
  • Over 1001 parking spaces provided in a parking lot or facility must have a minimum of 20 accessible parking spaces, plus 1 for each 100, or a fraction thereof, over 1000.

Different types of buildings, such as medical facilities, may have different requirements to properly accommodate patients and visitors. Additionally, accessible parking spots must follow certain dimensions, surface requirements, and provided signage. 

By turning to paving experts like our team at Turner Asphalt, your property’s parking spaces can effectively fall within ADA parking requirements. Help from a team of paving professionals also makes sure no ADA parking requirement goes unfulfilled—providing sufficient accessibility and avoiding legal liabilities.
