ADA Parking Requirements: Counts, Aisles, and Signage

The 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design set the baseline for accessible parking across the United States. These standards specify how many spaces a lot must designate, how wide those spaces and their access aisles must be, and what signage must accompany each stall.

Ohio layers additional obligations on top of federal minimums. Ohio Building Code Chapter 1106 (Ohio Administrative Code 4101:1-11), administered by the Ohio Board of Building Standards, adopts IBC Chapter 11 and ICC A117.1 with Ohio-specific amendments. A lot that passes federal review may still fall short under state code, so compliance requires checking both.

The number of required accessible spaces scales with the total size of the lot. ADA §208.2 sets the following minimums:

Total spaces in lot	Minimum accessible spaces
1–25	1
26–50	2
51–75	3
76–100	4
101–150	5
151–200	6
201–300	7
301–400	8
401–500	9
501–1,000	2% of total

These counts are minimums. A lot that has been reconfigured, resurfaced, or expanded may trigger a re-evaluation of the required count even if it was compliant under an older layout.

Signage is not optional. Each accessible space requires a post-mounted sign displaying the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), with the bottom of the sign at least 60 inches above the finished grade of the stall. Where a van-accessible stall is required, an additional “Van Accessible” designation must appear on or below the ISA sign.

Van-Accessible Spaces and Access Aisles

At least one of every six accessible parking spaces must be van-accessible under ADA §208.2.4. Lots with only one accessible space must make that space van-accessible.

The geometry is specific. A standard accessible stall must be at least 96 inches (8 feet) wide. Its adjacent access aisle must be at least 60 inches (5 feet) wide. A van-accessible stall can be configured two ways: either a 132-inch-wide stall with a standard 60-inch access aisle, or a 96-inch stall paired with a 96-inch access aisle. Both the stall surface and the aisle surface must maintain a slope no greater than 1:48 in any direction — steeper grades cause drainage problems and make the space inaccessible in practice.

The pavement marking for each accessible stall includes the ISA symbol painted directly on the surface. Access aisles are marked with diagonal lines to prevent parking in them, and the aisle must connect without a change in level to an accessible pedestrian route leading to the building entrance.

1-800-STRIPER® installs accessible spaces, van-accessible stalls, access aisles, ISA pavement symbols, required signage, and crossings to the accessible route. Each element is measured, laid out, and painted to spec before any striping work begins.

Our ADA Striping Process

1. Site measurement and layout review. Before any paint touches the pavement, the crew measures the lot to determine total space count, required accessible-space count, van-accessible count, and available aisle widths. Existing markings and grades are documented.
2. Code cross-check. The layout is reviewed against both ADA §208.2 and Ohio Building Code Chapter 1106 requirements to catch any conflicts between federal minimums and Ohio-specific amendments.
3. Surface preparation. Old, faded, or non-compliant markings are addressed. Clean pavement improves adhesion and makes the finished lines crisp and durable.
4. Striping and symbol application. Accessible spaces, van-accessible stalls, access aisles, and ISA pavement symbols are applied at the specified dimensions. Aisle diagonal hatching is painted at the same time so the completed section reads clearly from the pavement level.
5. Sign installation and final walk-through. ISA post signs and any required “Van Accessible” designations are installed at the correct height. The crew walks the completed area against the layout plan to confirm every element is in place before leaving the site.
