Public entities with very limited parking (four or fewer spaces) must have one accessible van-accessible parking space. However, no signage is required.

An accessible parking space must have an access aisle, which allows a person using a wheelchair or other mobility device to get in and out of the car or van. Accessible parking spaces (including access aisles) must be level (maximum slope 1:48 in all directions) and each access aisle must adjoin an accessible route.

 

A man using a wheelchair is exiting his van at a van-accessible parking space. The illustration has notes explaining the following requirements, starting at the top left and moving counterclockwise:  Signage: international symbol of accessibility placed in front of the parking space mounted at least 60 inches above the ground, measured to the bottom of the sign. Van accessible spaces include the designation van accessible.  Van Accessible Spaces: 2010 Standards one for every six accessible spaces (1991 Standards required one for every eight)  Width of space for car: 8 feet minimum  Width of space for van: 11 feet minimum (although it may be 8 feet wide if its access aisle is 8 feet wide)  Access aisle:  Width: 5 feet minimum (if aisle serves car and van spaces)  Length: full length of parking space
