Can the van and other signage be mounted on the building instead of on a pole?
If so, is there a section that permits this!

Re: Parking lot signage
In most parts of the county - yes.
Some states have other ideas. In what state are the parking spaces?

Re: Parking lot signage
rjj,
I concur with genebko. The Code of Federal Regulations,
Part 36, Appendix - A, July 1, 1994 Edition, Section 4.6.4
- Signage: This section does not prohibit the mounting of
the signs on the building."Such signs shall be located so
that they cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked
in the space."
The signage IS required to be located at a certain height,
...with a minimum reflective type finish and with certain
dimensionally sized letters / numbers.

Re: Parking lot signage
Signs shall be vertically mounted on a post or wall at front center of the parking space, no more than
5 feet horizontally from the front of the parking space and set a minimum of
4 feet from finished grade to the bottom of the sign. Such signs shall be
located so they cannot be obscured by a vehicle parked in the space.

Re: Parking lot signage
In PA I asked my local L&I auditor and was told the sign can be on the building. There are some instances where it actually makes more sense. I have been allowing it since I could not find any language that prohibited it.

Re: Parking lot signage
Oh just for giggles and grins. . . we ARE talking about a building that is relatively close to the parking space. . .
. . . right? :lol:

Re: Parking lot signage
I can tell you that in Maryland and Wyoming it can be posted on the building. Let common sense rule. If the parking space is close or adjacent to the building, a building mounted sign is a heck of a lot better solution then a head splitting post mounted sign especially for the sight impaired.

Re: Parking lot signage
There is no specific requirement regarding building or stanchion to mount the sign and the height is not specified in the ADAAG, only a recommendation of 60" to the bottom edge of signage when mounted on a post in front of the vehicle. Also clearance for headroom (6'8") if the sign should encroach into a path of travel.
The MAIN focus though is that the sign be located so that the sign cannot be obscured when a vehicle is parked in the space and that is can be seen from the driver seat of a "van".
There is a downloadable copy of the ADAAG Manual (like the IBC Handbook) at the access-board.gov website.
