What We Do
We Make ADA Information,
Easier to Understand
ADA Paving publishes practical California accessibility guides covering pavement, parking, sidewalks, ramps,
accessible routes and exterior property compliance.
We Research
We review accessibility standards, official guidance and California requirements.
We Explain
We turn technical information into clear, practical educational content.
We Educate
We help property professionals better understand accessibility responsibilities.
Our Purpose
Practical Accessibility Education for California Properties
Accessibility requirements can be technical, fragmented and difficult to interpret. Our role is to organize that information into practical guides that people can understand and use.
We focus on exterior accessibility conditions that commonly affect commercial properties, including accessible parking, paths of travel, curb ramps, surface slopes, striping, signage, asphalt and concrete improvements.
We provide educational information. We do not replace a CASp, architect, attorney, engineer or local building authority.
Built For Title 24 Compliance
Designed as a dedicated educational portal, ADA Paving breaks down California Title 24 Chapter 11B codes, slope tolerances, and parking standards into clear, actionable guides.

COMMON QUESTIONS
ADA Paving Frequently Asked Questions
Plain-English answers to the questions we hear most from California business owners and contractors.
In California, parking lot striping must strictly follow Title 24 Chapter 11B requirements. Standard accessible stalls must be at least 108 inches wide with a 96-inch access aisle (or 108 inches wide for van spaces). All access aisles must be painted with blue hatch lines, display “NO PARKING” stencils, and connect directly to an accessible route.
Yes. Under California law, re-striping, re-surfacing, or applying a slurry seal to a commercial parking lot triggers a requirement to bring the accessible stalls and access aisles into compliance with current Title 24 standards, including stall layout, line striping, and sign mounting heights.
California Title 24 limits surface slope in accessible parking stalls and access aisles to a maximum of 2.08% (1:48 gradient) in any direction. Excessive slopes are one of the most common citations issued during CASp audits.
California Title 24 Chapter 11B is stricter than federal ADAAG. California requires a 96-inch access aisle (versus 60 inches federally for standard spaces), specific blue paint color specifications, International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA) ground paint, and mandatory fine penalty language on post-mounted signage.
In California, at least 1 in every 6 accessible parking spaces (or fraction thereof) must be van-accessible. If a parking facility has only one accessible space, that single space must be van-accessible.
