Read the first 7 ADA Compliance & Accessibility flashcards as text

  1. A parking garage has medical offices above it. Which parking scoping category applies to those spaces?

    Answer: Outpatient medical facility — 10% of total spaces

    Parking serving outpatient medical facilities must provide accessible spaces equal to 10% of total spaces, a higher ratio than standard parking.

  2. Which of the following surface conditions would cause an accessible parking space to fail ADA compliance?

    Answer: Loose gravel surface material

    Accessible parking spaces must have a stable, firm, and slip-resistant surface; loose gravel does not meet this requirement.

  3. What is the maximum cross slope allowed on an accessible route within a parking facility?

    Answer: 1:48 (2.08%)

    The maximum cross slope on an accessible route is 1:48 (approximately 2.08%), ensuring wheelchair users are not destabilized.

  4. When accessible parking spaces cannot be located on the shortest route due to site constraints, what must a facility operator provide?

    Answer: Additional signage directing users to the accessible entrance

    When the shortest route is not feasible, facilities must provide signs directing users from the accessible spaces along the accessible route to the accessible entrance.

  5. How does the ADA define a 'van-accessible' parking space regarding its width?

    Answer: A minimum 11-foot-wide space with a 5-foot access aisle OR an 8-foot-wide space with an 8-foot access aisle

    Van-accessible spaces are either 11 feet wide with a 5-foot aisle, or 8 feet wide with an 8-foot aisle, both providing 16 feet of combined width.

  6. A CPP is reviewing a parking lot with 75 spaces. The owner wants to add 25 spaces. How many total accessible spaces are required after expansion?

    Answer: 4 accessible spaces

    With 100 total spaces (75 + 25), the ADA scoping table requires 4 accessible spaces for lots of 76–100 spaces.

  7. What is the primary purpose of the access aisle adjacent to an accessible parking space?

    Answer: To allow deployment of a vehicle ramp or lift and safe passenger transfer

    Access aisles provide the clear space needed for wheelchair ramps, lifts, and safe transfers between the vehicle and a wheelchair.
