Our Services
Parking Lot Design
An ADA-compliant parking lot starts with smart design. Proper layout keeps accessible spaces the right size, near entrances, and aligned with safe pedestrian routes. Our plans adhere to current ADA standards, taking into account slope, dimensions, and clear markings that guide visitors smoothly to entryways.
Each layout works seamlessly with our parking lot paving and pavement markings services, creating a unified, compliant design that looks professional and performs well for years.
ADA-Compliant Signage
High-quality ADA-compliant signage is essential for accessibility. Landmark installs durable, reflective handicap parking signs and van accessible parking signs at the correct height, angle, and distance for clear visibility.
Each sign is mounted for easy readability and long-term weather resistance, enabling drivers to quickly locate accessible spaces. Our crews ensure every accessible parking sign is mounted to code and can standardize signage across multiple properties for consistent compliance across all locations.
ADA-Compliant Pavement Markings
Clear pavement markings are key to ADA compliance. We use high-visibility paints and thermoplastic materials that resist fading, keeping stalls, aisles, and crosswalks easy to recognize over time.
Every line is applied with precision and measured against ADA specifications. Directional arrows, access aisles, and text markings guide traffic and improve safety. Each project is reviewed for accuracy, applying the same attention to detail found in our safety features installations to ensure a secure, compliant finish.
Ongoing Maintenance and Monitoring
ADA compliance requires ongoing care to stay up to code. Landmark offers restriping, sign replacement, and pavement inspections to help properties remain compliant year-round. Routine monitoring keeps worn markings, damaged signs, and surface issues from becoming accessibility problems.
We maintain site records for easier updates and future inspections. Whether managing one lot or several, our maintenance plans help preserve accessibility, extend pavement life, and prevent costly non-compliance issues.
Key Requirements for ADA-Compliant Parking Spaces and Signage
Here’s a quick look at the core ADA parking standards that keep your property compliant, accessible, and welcoming for everyone.
Standard Accessible Spaces
Each parking lot must include a minimum number of accessible spaces based on total capacity. These stalls should be closest to accessible building entrances and connect to the shortest possible pedestrian route. Spaces must be at least 8 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle beside them, clearly marked with blue paint and appropriate signage.
Van-Accessible Spaces
Van-accessible spaces require additional width and clearance to accommodate side-mounted wheelchair lifts. They must be 11 feet wide with a 5-foot access aisle or 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle, and marked with a “Van Accessible” sign. The route from these stalls to the entrance must remain level and unobstructed for safe mobility.
Slope Requirements
Surfaces within accessible stalls and aisles must not exceed a 1:48 slope (approximately 2.08%). This ensures wheelchairs and mobility devices remain stable while loading or unloading. Proper grading and drainage are key parts of ADA compliance during both design and maintenance phases.
Surface
Parking areas must feature firm, stable, and slip-resistant surfaces. Cracked, uneven, or deteriorated asphalt can compromise accessibility and lead to violations. Routine inspections and resurfacing help maintain compliance while improving safety and appearance.
Signage
Every accessible stall requires a permanent, weather-resistant sign displaying the International Symbol of Accessibility. Signs must be mounted at least 60 inches above the ground to remain visible when vehicles are parked. Using reflective materials enhances nighttime visibility and meets the majority of state and federal standards.
The ADA Parking Lot & Pavement Process
Here’s what Landmark Paving does to ensure your pavement follows ADA parking requirements.
Understand ADA Regulations
Our familiarity with ADA parking requirements are extensive. This knowledge helps us safeguard your customers from potential harm and shield you from costly legal disputes.
Conduct an ADA Pavement Assessment
We conduct comprehensive pavement inspections to identify which ADA regulations have not been adhered to and determine the necessary actions to ensure compliance.
Implement Regulatory Steps
We may repaint parking spaces, set up signage and pavement markings, construct curb ramps, and more. Whatever your needs are, we’ll get the job done.
Benefits of ADA Parking Requirements
ADA-compliant parking goes beyond meeting a code; it creates a space that’s safe, convenient, and inclusive for every visitor. The payoff extends beyond compliance: safer access, reduced risks, and a property that makes a great impression.
Key advantages include:
- Safer, easier access for everyone who visits your property
- Fewer compliance headaches and reduced liability risks
- A more professional, polished appearance that adds curb appeal
- Long-lasting pavement performance with the right layout and materials
ADA-compliant design demonstrates responsibility and care, showing that your business values accessibility and inclusivity.
Common ADA Compliance Issues in Parking Lots
Even the most well-maintained parking lots can fall short on ADA compliance. Small, missed details often cause major compliance issues, from outdated layouts to incorrect signage placement. Landmark helps identify and resolve these issues before they lead to citations or accessibility complaints.
Inadequate Number of ADA Parking Spaces
Many parking lots fail to include the minimum number of accessible stalls based on the total number of parking spaces. Regularly reviewing your layout helps ensure every visitor has equal access and your property meets current capacity requirements.
Improper ADA Signage Height
Signs that are too low or obstructed reduce visibility and fail to meet federal height requirements. Keeping signs properly mounted and easy to spot makes navigation safer and prevents confusion for drivers and pedestrians.
Poor Accessibility to Entrances
Long or uneven routes between parking spaces and building entrances can violate accessibility rules. Ensuring smooth pathways, curb ramps, and direct access points helps visitors move freely and comfortably from car to door.
Incorrect Signage or Markings
Faded paint, missing access aisles, or inaccurate symbols can all result in costly non-compliance findings. Fresh, visible markings not only maintain compliance but also create a more welcoming and professional impression for every guest.
