​​Disabled persons nowadays are getting a lot of facilities in their favor because the government wants to help them as much as they can. From discounts on medicines, check-ups and even on extracurricular activities, to privileges on transportation both on public and private.
 
Public vehicles provide a certain area allocated for the disabled and elderly to make sure that they won’t feel discomfort during the ride. The same thing applies to those who are on private vehicles. They have privileges when it comes to parking since there are disabled people who need apparatuses such as wheelchairs or walkers, which couldn’t fit in normal parking clearances.
 
ADA Compliant Parking Lot Striping and Handicap Stalls
 
ADA or Americans with Disabilities Act in 2010 states that the standards for accessible design, and providing the outline requirements for accessibility. New facilities who are planning to create parking areas must meet the minimum standards set by the act. However, old establishments can make changes in their parking structures.
Spaces for a disabled person must have nearby access on wheelchair ramp and elevator for them to have easier access when walking or using wheeled apparatuses.  

​How Many ADA Parking Spots Are Required?
 
The number of accessible parking spaces for disabled depends on the total number of spaces available in the lot. The ration required for the minimum count is one out of six parking spaces and one of them must be accessible for a van. 
For example, if the total number of parking spaces available is around 300, there should be at least 7 parking slots for a disabled person and 2 of them must be accessible by van.

​Tamarac is a city in Florida.  In 2010 the city had a population of 60,427. It is part of the beautiful Miami–Fort Lauderdale–Pompano Beach Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Ken Behring, the city's founder, was a young developer who came from the Midwest in the early 1960s after making his fortune with a chain of car washes called Car-A-Mat. He created an active adult community of two-bedroom homes. He called his new city Tamarac, Car-A-Mat spelled backward.
​
Behring built many developments and communities over the years to make Tamarac a great city.

​​Tamarac has many senior communities, such as Tamarac Lakes, the Mainlands of Tamarac and Kings Point. For young people wanting to purchase their first home, some of the senior communities have opened up to all ages. Many of these homes are 2-bedroom, smaller homes, so they are more affordable than many of the single-family larger homes in nearby cities. Tamarac may be just what you're looking for.

Directional arrow stenciling is a method of pointing the traffic in your parking lot clearly to prevent accidents. 
With the directional parking lot arrow stencils, you can meet the marking obligations of any particular traffic control location. ​

​It is noteworthy that directional arrows help with the traffic flow in your parking lot. Safe driving on parking lots depends on all the required markings remaining visible and adequately managed. The efficiency and parking lot flow can be improved instantly by adding directional arrows. 
 Directional arrows are useful for showing motorists and pedestrians the way to follow in a parking lot and the proper flow of traffic. These arrows are normally used as parking lot signs pointing to the left or right to show drivers the way they will follow to reach a parking space or to get out of the parking lot safely and without causing an accident to other parking lot users. 
 
Use the directional arrow to point the way clearly in your parking lot or on roadways. This will make sure the pedestrians know the exact way to look when they are staying out of the way of cars. You can manage traffic flow effectively by angling parking spaces and by painting arrows on the ground to show which way vehicles can drive.

Parking Lot Pressure Washing 
Keeping your business clean and healthy can provide a lot of benefits. If your parking lot is clean, it has a positive effect on the customers, and possibly, to your income and sales as well. 
That’s why if you own parking space or parking establishment, you need to ensure that you know how and when to clean your parking area.  

​Always Pressure Wash Your Parking Lot
​
​One of the most effective ways of cleaning the parking lot is to use a pressure washer. It might sound consuming at first, but the pressure coming from the machine ensures that the water coming out is minimal and the air pressure is the one taking care of the majority of the work. 
 
Apparently, there are a lot of reasons why you must wash your parking area. First, it can help you find the markings that were initially there. Imagine all-used up parking where there is accumulated dirt on the concrete that you can no longer check the visibility of the marking, it can be quite dangerous and will let the driver have a hard time in parking. 
 

If there are dust and dirt on the surroundings, it can still get to your vehicle and make it dirty, which is rather frustrating especially if your car is newly washed. 
 
Pressure washing your parking space makes it more inviting for people to use. A dirty establishment will drive customers away because it can reflect you as the owner. Basically, if you need to take care of your parking lot and keep it clear and dirt free.   ​

​What Is A Wheel Stop?  Wheel stops are used to define a proper parking space for the vehicles. They are used to allocate a proper parking space for all the vehicles thus ensuring the discipline in the parking lot. They are used for multiple purposes such as to stop the vehicles from hitting the back or side barriers or to stop them from entering a certain space. They are also referred to as parking blocks or parking curbs. They are useful in regulating traffic in emergency situations. They are useful in stopping the traffic from reaching the hazardous points and are useful when there is need to stop the traffic immediately. Wheel stops help the cars to stay in line at night time when there is little light to look up to and prevent them from over-speeding in crowded areas. 

​The dimensions of the wheel stops should be calibrated in such a way as to ensure safety for all types of vehicles and fulfilling the necessary purpose at the same time. They are available in three lengths i.e. three-foot, four-foot and six-foot. Sometimes, parking lots of all sizes are placed one after the other to ensure that vehicles are being stopped. Sometimes, they are used to prohibit certain vehicles from entering the parking lot or certain roads. They are designed so to fulfill the purpose in all sorts of weather conditions. The dimensions should be calibrated according to the dimensions of the tire so that the tire gets perfectly jammed and there is no possibility of any further movement. Improper dimensions can hurt the tires of the car badly and thus can be extremely risky for the travelers. Usually the wheel stops of all lengths and dimensions are made so as to help in controlling all types of traffic.

​Accessible Stall Compliance (ADA): What You Should Know 
In 2010, the U.S Department of Justice published new laws under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Among the new policies was the 2010 American with Disabilities regulations for accessible design. The act outlined the minimum requirements for accessing buildings and facilities. 
The 1990 ADA act contains guidelines for the construction of ADA compliant washrooms, which commercial and public bathrooms must follow. In addition, these regulations act as a guide in situations where ADA compliance is not necessary. In addition, Department of Justice allows local governments to issue new or additional directives that businesses must follow. So, you should check the local code rules before you start construction. 
 
How many ADA stalls are required in your parking lot? 
As a business owner, the law requires you to construct a parking space designated for persons with disabilities. What you may not know, however, is the number of parking spaces to reserve. Note requirements for businesses with new constructions may be different from those that have existing parking spaces.   
There is also the minimum requirement for van accessible spaces.  In every six parking lots, there should be one designated space for vans. For example, if you have 200 parking lots, you would need to reserve around 33 slots for accessible parking, six of which would be for van accessible.

​Speed Bumps – Great Ways to End Unwanted Speeding Around Parking Lots 
Do you want to put an end to unnecessary and treacherous speeding? Look no further than Speed bumps. Speed bumps compel cars to reduce their speed and maintain the speed limit.  
 
Speed bumps are simply the vertical barriers used in traffic administration, making them a great way to keep property or neighborhood road safe. They also ensure that parking lot traffic is moving at a reasonable speed. They are the most frequently used structural traffic calming components. Speed bumps can be of metal, rubber, plastic, concrete, or asphalt.  
 
Why do we need speed bumps? 
 
Speed bumps really serve considerable purposes, despite the fact that a number of drivers may find them a bit inconvenient. When it comes to guiding against both severe and minor traffic-related injuries and fatalities, speed bumps are very useful.  
Speed bumps are particularly made to curb recklessness and slow vehicles down, thereby making parking lots safer. This will guarantee and enhance the safety of pedestrians and vehicles on roadways, in alleys, and around parking lots. Speed bumps are best used in places where you just want to keep the traffic moving at a reasonable speed.

Parking Lot Fire Lane Requirements:

​

​Is ADA parking lot compliance mandatory? 

The 1990 ADA laws require every parking lot to have several handicap parking spaces determined by the size of the parking area.  As mentioned above, there are two types of parking spaces: van spaces and handicap stalls. You must have both parking spaces. The number of handicap spaces you should have will depend on the total amount of parking spaces you want to construct, as well as the type of business you operate. Contact a professional estimator to help you determine the number of accessible parking spaces to build. 

Detailed requirements 
Here is some vital information you need to know about handicap accessible parking spaces: 

Size 
Before you start the construction process, determine the measurements of the parking stalls first.  The width should be approximately 96 inches. The adjacent aisle should be at least 20 feet long and 60 inches wide. For the vans, the width must be at least 132 inches. 

Signs 
There are rules for signage for accessible parking space. You must install globally accepted symbols for accessibility. Ensure the signs are high enough for people to see. Everyone should be able to see the area is explicitly spared for vans. 

Entrance 
If your building has several entries, it is wise to construct the accessible parking space near the gates to allow every person to enter your building freely. This also says much about your business, that you take into account everyone’s interest. 
​
How often should you repaint the Accessible stalls in your parking lot? 
There is no universal consensus of how often one should repaint the accessible stalls. However, it is good to do it at least twice a year. Yet, if the paint starts to fade sooner after painting the stalls, you may have to repaint. You can paint the stalls at least three times per year to make sure they remain relevant.
