The 1st revision to the ADA required a wider striped area for van type vehicles. This was for side discharge. It is the same width as a regular parking space less 6”. It does not have a sign in front of it saying handicapped. This striped area also normally has the curb ramp, so it would actually be much better if the principal parked in the actual handicapped space rather than blocking the curb ramp.

In my opinion the ADA requires too many spaces at places like schools, shopping centers and office buildings, but not enough at hospitals, medical buildings, cafeterias and retirement homes.

This leads to valuable real estate being wasted and violations like we have here.

In any event bad for the Principal to set a poor example.
