Where should the ADA “wheel tire block” be correctly placed in a disabled Parking only parking lot space—towards the right side of the space, towards the left side of the space, or on either side of the space?
The wheel stop can be placed on either side of the parking stall. There’s no specific requirement for it’s location. Having said that, it’s typically positioned to stop the driver’s side wheel.
Between not expecting a wheel block to be positioned to stop the passenger side wheel, the block not being visible and it extending into the walkway of an ADA parking space – where there was less than a foot wide space between the block and a (presumably weight bearing) large pillar – I tripped on the block and fell. I am trying to find someone with ADA knowledge of regulations to evaluate the space, as most lawyers are declining to take my case if I do not have someone prove the hazard was an ADA violation. Please advise.
