Increase in handicapped parking spaces at plaza OK’d

[ICE]

Is it just me or does this look terrible to you too. All that paint and a sign for every stall. It seems to me that the signs should be all that's needed.



It looks like there's another one around the corner.

That picture is overkill above and beyond what is required by law and code

+1 I certainly agree and the painting of the curb which isn't in the code is what makes it look bad.

Every time a wheelchair user pulls into one of these stalls, they are driving right over the top of a wheelchair. That must get them to thinking.

Specifically, what is not required by code ?Also remember, ADA is not just for wheel

I would hope the visually diminished are not the drivers

In some states, CA for one, specifies the stall configuration, including the blue lines and the ISA.And yes CA require s a sign at each stall

The vehicle code also says the stall needs to be outlined. This may be the attempt at this.

Adding additional features can "look" bad to you but can be an inhancemet to others.

Exceeding the minimums set in the codes are not a bad thing.

Building to the code minimum is not always good.

The only things required by the code are the presence of the spaces, the access aisles and signage. No blue paint. No diagonal striping.

I thought the blue painted stripes had to meet a width requirement which could get the business sued for not being in compliance with ADA. I have hit my head on a sign before at or near that height and tripped when the sidewalk changed elevation at the ADA ramp area, I know thats just me lacking walking skills, that never happens to anyone else I bet.

The ultimate irony; smacking your melon on a handicapped parking sign, causing you to trip on the stupid yellow dots, which makes you fall and hit the back of your head making you lose the use of your legs.

fully depends on the jurisdiction. specific colored paints and stripes are required here.

 

[JPohling]
