What is the required width of an access aisle for a van accessible parking space?

  1. 6 feet

  2. 8 feet

  3. 10 feet

  4. 12 feet

The correct answer is: 8 feet

The required width of an access aisle for a van accessible parking space is eight feet. This width is specifically designed to allow adequate maneuverability for individuals using wheelchairs or other mobility devices to enter and exit their vehicles safely. The access aisle must be wide enough to facilitate the transfer of the individual from their wheelchair to the vehicle and vice versa, ensuring that the area is functional and compliant with accessibility standards, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A width of eight feet strikes a balance between providing ample space for movement while also maximizing the number of accessible parking spaces available in a given area.
