interesting. I can guarantee you those spaces dont pass muster... From DMV website, the aisle must be a minimum of 96"...
Accessible Parking Spaces for Vans
Van-accessible parking spaces are the same as accessible parking spaces for cars except for three features needed for vans:
Sign with "van accessible" and the international symbol of accessibility mounted high enough so the sign can be seen when a vehicle is parked in the space.
96" min. width access aisle, level (max. slope 1:50 in all directions), located beside the van parking space.
Min. 98-inch-high clearance at van parking space, access aisle, and on vehicular route to and from van space.
More specific information and guidance on accessible parking spaces is available from the Code Analysis Division, Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services, 703-324-1700, TTY 711.
