FIG. 40 PARKING SPACE ALONG A FOOTPATH/SIDEWALK
vary as some are fitted with ramps or hoists at the side or at the rear. The minimum width of the accessible parking space for a van shall have at least the same dimensions as for car parking spaces (see Fig. 37). Transfer areas between spaces may be shared.
For multi-purpose vehicles with hoists or lifts, more space is needed; at least an additional 2 400 mm area beside the van and/or at the rear of the van may be required. The dedicated parking space in this case shall be 4 800 mm wide and 9 000 mm long (see Fig. 38 and Fig. 40 for different types of designated parking spaces). As an alternative, a parking space of 2 400 mm wide × 9 000 mm in length along a footpath may be used, provided the footpath is at least 2 400 mm wide as shown in Fig. 39.
B-3.6 Kerb Ramp from Parking Space to an Adjacent Higher Pedestrian Path
The kerb ramp should be located in close proximity to the designated accessible parking area connecting the accessible path of travel to the main entrance. The kerb ramp width should be a minimum of 1 000 mm. The gradient of the kerb ramp should consider the
requirements in B-2.3. Kerb ramps shall have a slip-resistant surface. The accessible path to the kerb ramp can be marked with hatching painted on the road surface to prevent people from parking in this area (see Fig. 38).
