ADA Parking Lot Striping in Grand Rapids, MI
ADA striping keeps your accessible parking legal and usable — the right number of spaces, the right dimensions, and the right signs. We stripe and sign accessible spaces on commercial lots across Grand Rapids to the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design and Michigan’s barrier-free requirements, whether you’re building new, restriping, or correcting a lot that no longer meets standard. Accessible parking is one of the most common sources of complaints and one of the easiest to get right when it’s striped and signed correctly from the start.
How Many Accessible Spaces You Need
The number of accessible spaces is set by the total number of spaces in the lot. The 2010 ADA Standards require one accessible space for lots of 1 to 25 spaces, two for 26 to 50, three for 51 to 75, four for 76 to 100, and up from there on the published scale. At least one of every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible. Michigan’s Building Code Chapter 11 applies the same scoping, so meeting the federal count keeps you aligned with the state barrier-free rules.
| Total spaces in lot | Minimum accessible spaces |
|---|---|
| 1 to 25 | 1 |
| 26 to 50 | 2 |
| 51 to 75 | 3 |
| 76 to 100 | 4 |
Van-Accessible Stalls, Aisles, and Signage
A van-accessible space is 132 inches wide with an adjacent 60-inch access aisle, or an 8-foot space paired with an 8-foot aisle. Every accessible space is marked with the international symbol of accessibility and identified by an above-grade sign whose bottom edge sits at least 60 inches above the ground, per ADA §502.6. The access aisle is striped so it reads as no-parking, usually with boundary lines and diagonal hatching, and it must stay nearly level and connect to an accessible route to the entrance. We paint the symbol, stripe the aisle, and install compliant signs on each space.
Michigan Barrier-Free Requirements
“Barrier-free” is Michigan’s term for accessibility, built into the Michigan Building Code Chapter 11, which references the ICC A117.1 standard for technical details and mirrors the federal ADA scoping for counts and dimensions. Michigan law also backs the signage: a space reserved for people with disabilities must be clearly identified by an official sign to be enforceable (Michigan Compiled Laws 257.674). In practice, striping to the 2010 ADA Standards and installing the required signs keeps your accessible parking compliant on both the federal and state side.

Frequently Asked Questions About ADA Parking Lot Striping in Grand Rapids, MI
How many ADA parking spaces are required for my Grand Rapids lot?
The 2010 ADA Standards set the minimum by total spaces: 1 accessible space for 1–25 total, 2 for 26–50, 3 for 51–75, and so on, with at least one of every six being van-accessible. Michigan’s Building Code Chapter 11 applies the same scoping. We calculate the required count for your specific lot size.
What makes a parking space van-accessible?
A van-accessible space is 132 inches (11 feet) wide with an adjacent 60-inch access aisle, or an 8-foot space paired with an 8-foot aisle, plus an above-grade sign identifying it as van-accessible, per the ADA Standards and ICC A117.1. It also needs adequate vertical clearance along the vehicle route. We stripe and sign each one to standard.
What are the requirements for the accessible symbol and signage?
Each accessible space is marked with the international symbol of accessibility and identified by an above-grade sign; the sign’s bottom edge sits at least 60 inches above the ground per ADA §502.6. Michigan law also requires accessible spaces be clearly identified by an official sign (MCL 257.674). We paint the symbol and install compliant signs.
Does the access aisle need to be striped and marked?
Yes. The access aisle beside an accessible space must be marked so it reads as no-parking, typically with painted boundary lines and diagonal hatching. It must be level (slope no steeper than 1:48 in any direction) and connect to an accessible route to the building entrance. We stripe aisles to those requirements.
What is Michigan barrier-free design?
“Barrier-free” is Michigan’s term for accessibility requirements built into the Michigan Building Code (Chapter 11), which references the ICC A117.1 standard for the technical details and mirrors the federal ADA scoping for parking counts and dimensions. In practice, meeting the 2010 ADA Standards and the Michigan Building Code keeps your accessible parking compliant.
What happens if our ADA striping is faded or non-compliant?
Faded or missing accessible markings, wrong dimensions, or missing signs can expose a property to accessibility complaints and create real barriers for customers. Because salt and plowing wear these markings quickly in Michigan, they should be inspected regularly. We can audit your accessible parking against the ADA Standards and restripe or re-sign what’s out of compliance.
