Too true.
Big box stores where there is a fire lane in front of the store. All of the HC parking spaces you have to travel in the driving aisle to get to the HC parking space of which there could be 6 or more of them
In The picture(4) of those stall do not Meet Code, they lack loading zones. So traveling behind is just another violation for a law suit.I was not referring to the drive aisle I was referring to the other 4 or 5 HC parking spaces a person wouls have to roll behind if they are parked in the farthest HC spot
So is it a violation of a code or just a violation of "best pratices"? If code please provide the section from ANSI or ADASo traveling behind is just another violation for a law suit.
YesThe "Loading zone" is the 5 ft. (or 8 ft. for a van space) aisle between accessible spaces.
Apparently having to travel behind other parked cars is a violation in California, but just bad design elsewhere.
