Handicapped Parking Space Markings In Relation To Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Requirements?1

Question by SSA Registered Disabled PWD KING ♕♛: Handicapped Parking Space Markings In Relation To Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) Requirements?
I know that a Handicapped Parking Space is required by ADA law to have a blue and white Handicapped Parking Sign in front of a parking space in order for the Handicapped Parking Space to be considered to be an “official” Handicapped Parking Space by ADA law.

Is a Handicapped Parking Space required by ADA law to have the “person in wheelchair” symbol painted on the ground inside the Handicapped Parking Space?

Thank You!

No the ADA does not require any specific pavement marking except the line dividing the spaces and the diagonal lines in the access aisle. And the sign does not need to be blue and white – it can be any color – it does not need any symbol on it either. Locally we have several businesses that had red signs, and some that are just black and white — all perfectly legal.

Added: This is not a state dept. issue – it is federal. The state can decide to make the law more stringent than the ADA (the state could require blue lines even though the ADA does not, but it could not say no lines are required.) The ADA is clear about what is and is not required. No wheelchair symbol on the pavement. No blue paint except the diagonal lines.
