♿ ADA-Compliant Striping: What You Need to Know

Ensure safety, accessibility, and legal compliance in your parking lot.

If your property includes a parking lot or public access areas, ADA-compliant striping isn’t just a good idea—it’s a legal requirement. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) sets specific guidelines to ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities.

At Tibbs Paving, we specialize in precise, regulation-compliant striping for commercial properties, residential communities, and municipalities across Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic.

🧩 What Is ADA-Compliant Striping?

ADA-compliant striping ensures that your parking lot provides safe and accessible spaces for people with disabilities. This includes:

• Designated handicap-accessible parking stalls

• Access aisles with proper spacing

• Clear and visible markings and signage

• Proper slopes and surfaces for wheelchairs

• Van-accessible spots with wider dimensions

💡 Non-compliance can result in fines, lawsuits, and even the loss of operating licenses for businesses.

📏 Basic ADA Parking Requirements

While requirements can vary slightly by state or local jurisdiction, general ADA guidelines include:

• Minimum one accessible space for every 25 parking spots

• Van-accessible spaces with an 8-foot access aisle

• Clear, durable signage with the International Symbol of Accessibility

• Markings must be clearly visible and well-maintained

• Access aisles must be free of obstructions

At Tibbs Paving, we stay up to date with both federal and local regulations to ensure your lot meets all requirements.
