| ADA Standards for accessible
design |
 When
a business, State or local government agency, or other
covered entity restripes a parking lot, it must provide
accessible parking spaces as required by the ADA Standards
for Accessible Design. Failure to do so would violate
the ADA. In addition, businesses or privately owned
facilities that provide goods or services to the public
have a continuing ADA obligation to remove barriers
to access in existing parking lots when it is readily
achievable to do so. Because restriping is relatively
inexpensive, it is readily achievable in most cases.
This ADA Design Guide provides key information about
how to create accessible car and van spaces and how
many spaces to provide when parking lots are restriped.
