    max. parking lot grades!

    Clarification: 8% is not ADA compliant; around ADA spaces, the max slope in any direction is 2%. (2% forward plus 2% cross-wise is 2.8% total and not allowed.) 8% is too steep for a cross slope; car doors won't stay put at that slope. 8% works only as a forward or reverse slope for non-ADA...

    We have an parking space in front of our office that slopes upward 8%. I don't think there is any door-slamming problem since the 8% is in the forward direction. It may be that in the cross direction it would be a problem. I will have to take our smart level out and run a few tests around...

    turn around dimensions

    If you are too cheap to get AutoTURN (like I am) and want to support the Free Software concept, you could try my TURN.LSP to trace turning paths on weaving sites. It has had a lot of interest and one lone donation in the past few years. It is at www.hawsedc.com under Free Software, or just...

    max. Driveway Slope

    Do you mean turning templates? I put some up at my site along with a turning path AutoLISP program a few years ago. It may help you out. www.hawsedc.com/gnu Tom Haws

    Need ACAD turning templates

    WB40 and WB50 are standard vehicles used for design. If you go to www.hawsedc.com/gnu/turn.php (my site), you will see it explained with the dimensions of those AASHTO vehicles given.
