How do you see this

Steveray,Ok just to make myself even more confused. Does the IBC even cover pathways within a parking lot or is that left to A117.1 and ADAAG?

Yes it is covered under the IBC

1101.1 Scope.

The provisions of this chapter shall control the design and construction of facilities for accessibility to physically disabled persons.

1101.2 Design.

They all look that way around here.....

Tom...yes I would have jurisdiction over what you show...Use "accessible parking"...it's nicer...

Exemptions from permit....

6. Sidewalks and driveways not more than 30 inches (762 mm) above adjacent grade, and not over any basement or story below and are not part of an accessible route.

And this is why I was asking about the site or public way and other details that make it an issue or not....

SECTION 1104 ACCESSIBLE ROUTE

1104.1 Site arrival points. Accessible routes within the site shall be provided from public transportation stops; accessible parking; accessible passenger loading zones; and public streets or sidewalks to the accessible building entrance served.

Excellent analysis and responses crew and Happy holidays too.

The exceptions do not REQUIRE the accessible route to be installed. However when an accessible route is provided it has to comply with the code requirements.
