What is the minimum clear width required for an accessible parking space in a commercial building?

  1. 2.5 meters

  2. 3.0 meters

  3. 3.5 meters

  4. 4.0 meters

The correct answer is: 3.0 meters

The minimum clear width required for an accessible parking space in a commercial building is 3.0 meters. This option allows for enough space for a person with a disability to maneuver comfortably in and out of their vehicle. Choosing option A (2.5 meters) would not provide enough space, potentially making it difficult for someone with a mobility aid to enter and exit the vehicle. Options C (3.5 meters) and D (4.0 meters) are larger than the required minimum, and while they may provide more space, they are not necessary and would take up additional parking spots. Overall, option B strikes the right balance between providing adequate space and maximizing the number of available parking spots.
