Van accessible spaces are minimum 8’-0” wide with a minimum of 8’-0” wide access aisle.
Accessible parking spaces shall be in the most convenient location for the user traveling to their final point of destination.
As a point of good practice provide all accessible spaces in covered areas.
Locating accessible spaces outside of the parking structure closest to the point of destination must be reviewed with local jurisdiction.
As a point of good practice all accessible spaces must be provided in a “safe” location considering patterns and frequency of traffic.
All van accessible spaces require 8’-2” clearance, not necessary on the entire level, but the driving path of the van upon entry to exit must have the clearance.
* Federal, State, and Local codes govern most of these requirements and should be thoroughly investigated. Data presented herein should be considered guidelines only. For more specific information, please contact TimHaahs via email at info@TimHaahs.com
