No-Parking Zone Striping in Phoenix
Last updated November 13, 2026
The 2010 ADA Standards require access aisles to be marked so people won't park in them (§502.3.3). Define hatched no-parking zones at hydrants, crosswalks, trash enclosures, loading areas and accessible aisles. A local contractor can align markings with your approved plan and city requirements.
Keep these areas clear
Five spots where a parked car blocks access, and how each one is usually marked.
No parking
Crosswalk
Usually marked with:white crosswalk bars, often with a stop bar.
Keep the crosswalk and the curb ramps at both ends clear.
No parking
Trash enclosure
Usually marked with:yellow hatching or a NO PARKING stencil.
The collection truck needs a straight, open approach.
No parking
Loading zone
Usually marked with:yellow hatching, a stencil and a sign.
Time limits are set by the property and posted on the sign.
No parking
ADA access aisle
Usually marked with:diagonal hatching beside the accessible space.
The aisle must stay open for ramps and wheelchairs.

Hatching vs. curb paint vs. signs
Diagonal hatching tells drivers an area is not a parking space; curb paint and stencils add a clear message at the edge; signs explain rules that paint can't, like time limits or towing. Most no-parking areas work best with two of the three.
Don't let new stalls creep into clear zones
When a lot is restriped, it's tempting to add a stall where a hatch used to be. Before any hatched area becomes parking, check that it isn't an accessible aisle, a fire lane, a hydrant clear space or a loading area the property needs.

Can we turn a hatched area into a parking space?+
Only if it isn't required for something else, like an ADA access aisle or a fire lane. Check before painting.
What color is used for no-parking hatching?+
It varies by property and city. ADA access aisles need markings that discourage parking; fire lanes follow the fire department's detail.
