ADA Parking Requirements in Georgia

Ensure Your Property's Parking Lot Complies With ADA Requirements

Paved surfaces that aren’t compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) pose safety hazards to users and make it difficult for those with disabilities to navigate your property.  At Blackjack Paving, we offer ADA striping services for properties in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida.  Our asphalt paving contractors will upgrade your pavements and parking spaces to ensure they meet all ADA requirements and are accessible to anyone.

What Qualifies as an ADA-Compliant Parking Space?

An ADA-compliant parking space must meet specific accessibility standards to ensure safe, convenient access for individuals with disabilities. These requirements apply to both standard and van-accessible spaces and cover layout, location, and visibility.

An ADA-compliant parking space typically includes:

  • Proper space dimensions that allow enough room for vehicles and mobility equipment

  • A clearly marked access aisle next to the parking space for wheelchair loading and unloading

  • Smooth, stable, and slip-resistant pavement surfaces free of cracks, potholes, or uneven areas

  • Correct slope and grading to prevent drainage issues and mobility challenges

  • Placement along the shortest accessible route to the building entrance, without curbs or obstructions

  • High-visibility pavement striping and markings to clearly identify the space

  • Upright ADA signage mounted at the required height so it remains visible even when vehicles are parked

Van-accessible parking spaces must also provide additional width and proper signage to accommodate wheelchair lifts and larger vehicles.

Ensuring these elements are correctly installed helps keep your property compliant, accessible, and welcoming to all visitors.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADA Parking Requirements

1) How many ADA parking spaces are required for a parking lot?

The number of required ADA parking spaces depends on the total number of parking spaces in your lot. Larger parking lots must provide more accessible spaces, including van-accessible spots, to remain compliant.

2) What is the difference between standard ADA spaces and van-accessible spaces?

Van-accessible parking spaces are wider and include a larger access aisle to accommodate wheelchair lifts and ramps. They must also be clearly marked with proper signage indicating van accessibility.

3) Do ADA parking spaces need specific signage and striping?

Yes. ADA parking spaces must be clearly marked with visible pavement striping and upright signage that identifies the space as accessible. Van-accessible spaces require additional signage to meet compliance standards.

4) Does my existing parking lot need to be updated to meet ADA requirements?

If your parking lot does not currently meet ADA standards, updates may be required. Property owners are responsible for maintaining compliance, especially when parking lots are resurfaced, restriped, or modified.

5) What happens if my property is not ADA-compliant?

Non-compliance can lead to safety risks, complaints, fines, or legal action. Updating your parking lot to meet ADA requirements helps reduce liability and ensures equal access for all visitors.

6) How long does ADA striping and compliance work take?

Project timelines vary based on the size and condition of the parking lot, but most ADA striping and compliance upgrades can be completed efficiently with minimal disruption to your property.
