ADA Parking Striping and Lining Services

What We Install—and Why It Works

ADA parking striping is more than paint on pavement. It is a critical part of creating safe, usable spaces for people with disabilities while keeping commercial properties aligned with ADA standards. At William Stanley & Sons Paving, we provide professional ADA parking striping services for commercial properties, parking facilities, and local governments throughout the Portland area and beyond.

Our team brings more than 30 years of experience to every project, combining attention to detail with a clear understanding of ADA compliance. The result is parking lot striping that is accurate, durable, and designed to hold up to daily use.

What Is ADA Parking Striping?

ADA parking striping refers to the layout, markings, and symbols used to create accessible parking spaces that meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. These markings define where accessible parking is located, how wide spaces must be, and how access aisles are positioned.

Proper striping ensures that people with disabilities can park, exit their vehicles safely, and reach accessible entrances using the shortest accessible route. When striping is done incorrectly, even small errors can lead to compliance issues or limited access.

Why ADA Compliance Matters for Commercial Properties

ADA compliance is not optional for most commercial parking lots. It is a legal requirement designed to ensure equal access for people with disabilities. Beyond regulations, proper striping helps protect property owners from liability while improving safety and usability for everyone.

Clear, compliant markings also enhance curb appeal. Well-organized parking areas reflect professionalism and show that accessibility is taken seriously.

How Many Accessible Parking Spaces Are Required?

The number of accessible parking spaces depends on the total number of spaces in the parking facility. ADA standards outline a minimum number of accessible spaces required based on lot size.

Some of those spaces must be van accessible spaces, which include additional width and a clearly marked access aisle. Understanding the correct number of accessible parking spaces is essential, especially for large commercial lots or properties undergoing changes.

What Makes a Parking Space Van Accessible?

Van accessible spaces are designed to allow additional room for vehicle ramps and lifts. These spaces must include an access aisle that is at least 60 inches wide and clearly marked.

The access aisle is typically located on the passenger side of the space and must be connected to the shortest accessible route to an accessible entrance. Proper placement and striping are key to ensuring these spaces function as intended.

Proper Placement and Layout of ADA Parking Spaces

ADA spaces must be located on the shortest accessible route to accessible entrances. This helps reduce travel distance and ensures safe access from the parking area to the building.

Striping must clearly define each space, access aisle, and travel path. Surfaces should be slip resistant and easy to navigate, especially in high-traffic commercial environments.

Common ADA Parking Striping Mistakes We Help Correct

Many compliance issues come from faded lines, improper spacing, or access aisles that are too narrow. Other problems include spaces not being located on the shortest accessible route or missing required van accessible spaces.

Correcting these issues helps restore compliance while improving the overall organization and safety of the parking lot.

ADA striping requires more than following a diagram. It requires real-world experience applying standards to active parking facilities with unique layouts.

Our team understands how to interpret ADA standards accurately and apply them correctly in the field. That experience helps prevent costly rework and gives property owners confidence that the job is done right.
