ADA Parking Requirements in Greensboro, NC

Most Greensboro property managers call after a tenant, an HOA board, or a visitor notices a faded wheelchair symbol. The stall count may still match the lot. The aisle may not. The van plaque may be gone. Atlas walks the lot as it exists today — total stalls, access-aisle widths, sign height, and the route to the entrance — then restripes and signs what the current table requires.

Downtown decks, Friendly-area retail, UNCG and N.C. A&T adjacent lots, and east-side apartment communities each wear differently. A church that only fills on Sunday can look compliant until the paint is gone. A medical office on Battleground or Wendover needs the van stall on the shortest route, not wherever the last painter found room. Guilford County does not publish a separate stall-count table; the federal 2010 numbers and NC Building Code Table 1106.2 are the ones we use.

The table has not been replaced

2010 is the name of the current federal design standard, not an expired year. The Department of Justice still uses the 2010 ADA Standards when a lot is restriped. North Carolina's 2024 State Building Code Chapter 11 Table 1106.2 lists the same accessible-space counts. Later ADA rules about websites do not change stall counts or aisle widths. Use the ADA parking-space calculator for a planning number, then we confirm it on the ground.

• Standard accessible aisle: 60 inches.
• Van-accessible aisle: 96 inches (or an 11-foot stall with a 60-inch aisle).
• At least 1 in every 6 accessible spaces must be van-accessible.
• Signs match the paint and sit at least 60 inches above grade.
• The accessible route to the entrance is part of compliance — paint alone is not enough.

How Atlas works a Greensboro lot

We re-measure instead of tracing ghost lines. If the lot grew or lost stalls since the last layout, the accessible count is recalculated. Hospital outpatient and rehab occupancies use the higher 10% and 20% patient/visitor rules. We do not quote a civil-penalty dollar figure.

Greensboro churches and retail usually want overnight or Sunday work. Apartment communities often prefer weekday mid-day when residents are out. Part of the lot can stay open.
