Does your lot meet ADA specifications?

It requires a minimum number of handicap-accessible parking stalls depending on the size of the parking lot, and a minimum number of van-accessible parking spaces depending on the number of handicap-accessible spaces. 

It also requires: 

* Specific signage and specific sign placement 

* Unobstructed access routes 

* Access aisles leading from the parking stalls to the sidewalk or other access route 

* Use of curb ramps 

These are only a few of the many requirements parking lots must meet to comply with federal ADA regulations. Penalties for not complying could include: 

* A court could order to bring the parking lot into compliance. 

* Civil penalties not to exceed $50,000 for the first violation and $100,00 for the second violation. 

* Monetary damages to the person or organization suing the property owner.
