    The 2010 ADA Standards require a minimum vertical clearance of 98 inches (8 feet 2 inches) for van-accessible spaces and the vehicular route to them.

  2. When a parking facility is altered, what is the minimum percentage of altered spaces that must be made accessible?

    When parking facilities are altered, the same scoping ratios required for new construction apply to the altered spaces.

    Answer: 1:50 (2%)

    Accessible parking spaces and access aisles must have a maximum slope of 1:50 (2%) in all directions.

  4. How many van-accessible spaces are required when a parking lot has 6 accessible spaces total?

    Answer: 1 van-accessible space

    At least one of every six accessible spaces (or fraction thereof) must be van-accessible under the 2010 ADA Standards.

  5. What is the minimum width of an access aisle adjacent to a standard accessible parking space (non-van)?

    Answer: 9 spaces

    For 401–500 spaces, the 2010 ADA Standards require 9 accessible spaces (2% of first 200 = 4, plus 1 per 25 above 200 for next 250 = 5 more... actually the table requires 9 for 401-500).
