Ever since the AS2890.6 - 2009 was released we have wondered how this would work in a real world. The answer is "IT DOESN'T".

Have a look at the below clip that we put together that explains some of the reasons why AS2890.6 - 2009 doesn't work.

Accessible Parking Bay's (APB) are important for the inclusion and access to your building or site for individuals with a disability. It is important to ensure that all individuals including those with a disability are given equal opportunities.

A simple way to find out if your accessible parking bay complies, is to complete the following question with either a 'yes' or 'no' answer.

• Is your APB far from your building or site's accessible entrance?
• Do the dimensions of your APB match that of 3400mm by 5400mm?
• Is adequate signage provided at your APB with the international symbol of disability?
• Is the path from the APB to the entrance, accessible and free from obstruction?
• Is there a shared space next to; in front of; behind - your APB provided?

*A shared space is line marked and for use by both pedestrians and vehicles*

• Is there a bollard provided in the shared space?
• APB's are required to have a gradient less than 1:33. Does your APB gradient meet requirements?
• Is the surface of your APB firm, slip resistant and free of loose gravel and cracking?
• Are the markings of your APB yellow?
• Is the international access symbol central and within the allowable 800mm - 1000mm size?
