11B-502.7.1 Arrangement.
Parking spaces and access aisles shall be designed so that persons using them are not required to travel behind parking spaces other than to pass behind the parking space in which they parked.
Advisory 11B-502.7.1 Arrangement. Accessible parking spaces located so that the accessible route passes behind parked vehicles create a safety hazard, especially for wheelchair users. Wheelchair users traveling behind parked vehicles may be obscured from the view of drivers backing out of parking spaces, especially when passing behind high-profile vehicles. This section requires that persons with disabilities not be required to travel behind parking spaces other than the one in which they have parked.◼
ETA Editor's Note
While 2010 ADAS Advisory 502.3 discourages configuring access aisles to require travel behind other parked vehicles, 2013 CBC 11B-502.7.1 prohibits this.
