Pasillo de Acceso

Un pasillo de acceso es la zona rayada adyacente a un espacio de estacionamiento accesible. El propósito de un pasillo de acceso es proporcionar espacio para que una persona con discapacidad se transfiera entre un automóvil en el espacio accesible y un dispositivo de movilidad, como una silla de ruedas o un scooter. Es importante mantener un pasillo de acceso despejado para que pueda usarse para el propósito previsto.

Para cumplir con la ley, un pasillo de acceso para un espacio de estacionamiento para automóviles debe tener al menos 5 pies de ancho. Sin embargo, para una camioneta, el pasillo de acceso debe tener al menos 8 pies de ancho, aunque si un espacio de estacionamiento accesible para camionetas tiene al menos 11 pies de ancho, el pasillo de acceso debe ser de sólo 5 pies de ancho. Los Estándares ADA 2010 para Diseño Accesible contienen los requisitos técnicos y de alcance para los pasillos de acceso.
