Accessible Parking Space Signage (pdf / 129 kb / 1 pg)

  • Be sure your signs say "posted pursuant to Scottsdale City Code Sec 17-124." The old signs are no longer valid.
  • A sign is required at EACH space - painting on the pavement is not enough to make it a legally designated accessible space.

ADAAG 4.1.2 and 4.6 -- ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG) provides a table with the number of accessible parking spaces required dependent on the size of the lot. For example, only four percent of the spaces in a 100-space lot must be accessible. Certain facilities, however, are subject to higher requirements.

In addition to the general requirements for accessible automobile spaces, ADAAG requires that at least one of every eight accessible parking spaces have adequate adjacent space for a van lift to be deployed. Each such space must have a sign indicating that it is van-accessible, but it is not to be reserved exclusively for vans. Alternatively, "universal parking," in which all spaces can accommodate van widths, is permitted. If valet parking is provided, there must be an accessible passenger loading zone.
