ADA Parking Striping in Jefferson, Oregon: Bringing Your Lot Up to Code

Restriping a Jefferson Lot to a Compliant Layout

When the lines on a Jefferson parking lot fade or a lot finally gets a fresh sealcoat, you face a choice: repaint the old layout exactly as it was, or take the opportunity to lay the lot out the way the ADA actually requires. For older lots in this Santiam-valley corner of Marion County, the second option is almost always the right call. Many were striped before current accessibility rules were enforced, and a blank, freshly sealed surface is the cheapest moment you will ever get to fix the layout.

This guide covers what a compliant ADA restripe looks like for a Jefferson business. For the underlying rules, anchor on our ADA parking compliance guide for Oregon, and for the full marking specification see our ADA striping requirements for Oregon in 2026.

What "ADA Striping" Actually Includes

ADA parking striping is more than blue paint. A compliant accessible stall is a coordinated set of markings and fixtures:

• The accessible stall itself — at least 8 feet wide, clearly bordered.
• The access aisle — 5 feet wide for a standard stall, 8 feet for a van stall, marked with diagonal hatching.
• The International Symbol of Accessibility — painted within the stall, plus a vertical sign.
• "NO PARKING" wording in the access aisle to keep it clear.
• Signage — mounted at least 60 inches above grade, with the Oregon fine plate, and a "Van Accessible" plate where required.

The access aisle is where most restripes go wrong, so it deserves its own attention — our ADA access aisle striping spec covers width, hatching, and shared-aisle rules in full.

Get the Count and the Van Stall Right

Before a single line is painted, the layout has to satisfy the accessible-space count. The 2010 ADA Standards require 1 accessible space per 25 total stalls on smaller lots, scaling up as the lot grows. At least 1 in 6 accessible spaces, rounded up, must be van-accessible — which on a typical Jefferson lot means the one required accessible stall must be the van type, with its wider 8-foot aisle.

A restripe is the moment to correct a lot that has too few accessible stalls or no true van stall. Repainting the old lines without checking the count simply re-prints an existing violation.

Dimensions and Slope

A compliant accessible stall is at least 8 feet wide. The access aisle is 5 feet (standard) or 8 feet (van). Crucially, paint cannot fix slope. Accessible stalls and aisles must stay under 2 percent slope in every direction, and if a Jefferson lot has settled past that — common after the valley's freeze-thaw winters — the surface itself needs correction before striping. A good contractor reads the slope during layout and flags any stall that needs grinding, patching, or an overlay first.

Timing in the Santiam Valley

Striping in Jefferson is a warm, dry-season job. Traffic paint needs surface temperatures above roughly 50°F and a dry, clean surface to bond, so the practical window runs from late spring through early fall. Pairing the restripe with a fresh sealcoat is ideal — the dark, smooth surface gives the paint better adhesion and the new lines far better contrast. If you are sealing first, see our local parking lot striping in Jefferson guide for how to sequence the two jobs.

Why the Layout Matters Legally

A faded or missing accessibility symbol, an access aisle that is too narrow, or a sign mounted too low are each their own compliance gap — and on a small lot, a single non-compliant accessible stall can be the entire basis of a complaint. Getting the restripe right removes that exposure for the cost of the paint and a careful layout. The figures here reflect the 2010 ADA Standards and ORS 447.233 as general guidance; a measured on-site survey is the only way to confirm exactly what your Jefferson lot requires.
