How to Apply Handicap Signs Using Wheelchair Stencils
- The first and foremost thing to prioritize when stenciling a handicap marking is the need of the people who are going to be using the parking space. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, handicap-accessible parking stalls must be positioned near the entrance of the facility.
- If the facility has multiple entrances, then the owner or the facility manager must ensure that there are multiple parking spaces accessible all over the property. Handicap parking spaces must also be located on level ground

You can also refer to the Asphalt Kingdom ADA Handicap Parking Requirements & Cheatsheet for additional information.
- Using a broom and/or a power blower, remove dust, dried leaves and loose asphalt from the parking stall.
- If your client doesn't require a background, then lay out the stencil on the pavement and spray paint directly. But if the client requires a background, then trace the sides of the background with chalk or marker and fill it in with federal standard handicap blue paint. Let the paint dry.
- Once the background is dry, paint the sign's border using a line striping machine. Let it dry.
- Center the handicap parking template on the background and spray paint.

With proper care and cleaning after each use, our handicap stencils can be used for numerous applications. This makes them a cost-effective choice for parking lot professionals and DIYers.

Both asphalt paint types have their pros and cons, depending on your needs and budget. Water-based paints are usually less expensive, require less prep work and dry faster than oil-based paints. Oil-based paints are more durable and are better suited for harsh weather and heavy traffic.
Some jurisdictions may allow the use of nonstandard symbols for private use. Generally, you should provide accessible parking that meets the standards dictated by the ADA. At Asphalt Kingdom, we offer handicap parking templates that are standard in appearance.
