State or local accessible parking laws that provide greater protection than ADA requirements:
Answer: Apply in addition to ADA, and facilities must comply with both

Which of the following constitutes an ADA violation at a parking facility even if the required number of accessible spaces exists?

Access aisles must remain clear at all times; using them as loading zones blocks access for wheelchair users and constitutes an ADA violation.
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, what additional signage is required specifically for van-accessible spaces?

Van-accessible spaces must include a 'Van Accessible' designation added below the International Symbol of Accessibility on the parking sign.
A curb ramp connecting an accessible parking area to a sidewalk has a 10% running slope. Is this compliant with ADA?
Answer: No, curb ramp running slopes must not exceed 8.33% (1:12)
Curb ramps may not exceed a running slope of 1:12 (8.33%); a 10% slope exceeds this limit and is non-compliant.

Answer: The stricter of ADA Title II or Title III requirements
When a private facility is operated by a government tenant, both Title II (government operator) and Title III (private owner) may apply, and the more stringent requirements govern.
