Access aisles and slope
Accessible spaces need adjacent access aisles, and the space and aisle must be nearly level. Restriping can't fix slopes, so ask about re-grading if surfaces are steep.
Signage and location
Accessible spaces should be on the shortest accessible route to the entrance and marked with signs mounted at the required height. Van spaces need van-accessible signage.
Before restriping
- Count total spaces.
- Map accessible route to entrances.
- Check sign heights and condition.
- Note slopes at accessible stalls.
