Are you ADA Compliant?

It is critical to keep streets and avenues up to ADA compliance. Ensuring that all citizens have access to roads, sidewalks, and facilities should be a priority for government departments, cities, and towns. There are many regulations to keep public spaces compliant with all guidelines and avoid any possible lawsuits.

Public Parking Compliance 

• 2% of all spaces must be van or handicap accessible
• Accessible parking spaces are located on the shortest possible route of travel
• For every seven accessible spaces, there is one van parking space

Accessible Routes

• Routes are level under ADA standards, routes are clearly defined, and routes connect from spaces to curb
• Accessible routes must be at least 36 inches wide.
• Unobstructed pedestrian paths connecting parking to public spaces.

Signage

• Signs with the symbol of accessibility are mounted in front of the space high enough to be seen while a vehicle is parked in the space

Curbs & ADA Ramps

• Ramps are the correct degree of incline and do not extend into access aisles
• Sloped curbs have truncated domes

Handrails

• Handrails measure the correct height from the walking surface to the top of the grab rail
• Handrail height remains consistent above walking surfaces, stair nosing, and ramps

At Team Cam, we make it a priority to stay up to date on ADA guidelines for asphalt and concrete public infrastructure. Each locality has its own set of additional or specific requirements to meet the standards of ADA compliance, and it is important to check and confirm you are meeting those requirements.
