What is the law concerning handicapped accessible parking concerning tractor trailer trucks & truck stops?

 

-Tish K.


ANSWER:

Tish,

As long as you provide a passenger loading zone in compliance with the ADA Standards, you should be OK.

The ADA Standards have an exemption from the requirement to provide accessible parking spaces for those parking spaces used exclusively for:

Buses

Trucks

Other delivery vehicles

Law enforcement vehicles

Vehicular impound

…when such lots provide a passenger loading zone in compliance with the ADA Standards.

I hope this helps!
