ADA Handicap Parking Signs

According to the ADA design standards, signs must be mounted so the bottom edge is at least 60 inches (5 feet) above the ground. This ensures it's visible to drivers and not obstructed by a vehicle.

This rule applies to all ADA parking signs, like this handicapped parking sign, when installed on sign posts. See our post installation video for tips.

All accessible parking signs must display the International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA). Per the ADA, many states also require signs posting the fine for violations.

Van spaces also require a "van accessible" sign. See all these elements in our handicap parking sign video.

No. According to ADA regulations, accessible spaces must be available for all users with a valid state permit. They cannot be reserved for "patients" or "employees."

Instead of a custom handicap sign, you must use compliant ADA parking signs, like a "permit required" sign. Watch our reserved signs video for more.

A van-accessible space requires an access aisle at least 8 feet wide, marked with a "van accessible" sign. At least one in every six accessible spaces must be van-accessible.

We offer both van accessible signs and van accessible stencils. See details in our van parking spaces video.
