The law states that standard car handicapped parking spots must be at least 96 inches wide and have access to a loading area that is 5 foot wide. Van accessible spots, which every lot is required to have, must have an 8 foot loading area, be marked with a "Van Accessible" sign and have 98 inches of vertical clearance. Two spaces can share a loading zone as long as it is an 8 foot, van accessible space.
