ADA Done Right at Fort Lauderdale Beach Hotel Disabled Parking- 1/12/2020
Look at the photo below. This is a good example of the Americans with Disabilities Act done right and better than required.
ADA Parking at Beach Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, FL
This is beach hotel parking area for disabled parking in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Notice the fundamental design of these spaces where the blue markings are clear, signs are posted high on the end of the spaces, a clearly marked shared aisle is installed between the two vehicle spaces and leading into the hotel where a detectable marking is observed in the bottom of the photo. All very nice. But what can you see that is extra? How about those traffic cones? Don’t they look good! They are clearly visible from a distance and painted in the blue and white of typical disability installations. This is excellent! And the cones are a friendly reminder for drivers who are not disabled to not use these parking spaces. Now, the cones should not be on the aisle because they encroach on the clear width of the aisle, but, the concierge is close by and can quickly relocate the cones when needed. A closeup of the cones is shown below.
