Parking Stall and Site Marking CAD Blocks

Six site CAD blocks for the paving and striping plan: standard parking stall, ADA stall with access aisle, ADA accessible-parking sign, sidewalk, driveway with apron and a bollard. The ADA stall carries its access aisle as part of the block, so the pair gets drawn together rather than remembered separately. Free DXF downloads.

Standard Parking Stall

Commercial ADA - datum: near-left corner of first stall - default footprint 108in x 216in

Standard Parking Stall - plan view CAD block
Standard Parking Stall - plan view, 108in x 216in

The standard non-accessible stall, carrying a count parameter so an entire row lays in from one insertion. It appears on site plans, striping plans, and the parking tabulations that go with a zoning or site-plan submittal.

Sizing

108in (9ft) by 216in (18ft) is the common American surface-lot stall. The 96in end of the range is compact or employee dimension, 120in shows up at retail and wherever wide door swings are expected, and none of it is a national standard: the governing number is the local zoning ordinance.

Drafting notes

Insertion sits at the near-left corner of the first stall, and count runs 1-20, so a full bay comes from a single placement while drive-aisle geometry stays in the site layout rather than in the block. Draw it at site scale on the paving and striping layer.

Drawn alongside

Tallied alongside parking-ada, because the total this block generates is exactly what determines how many accessible stalls the lot owes.

ADA Parking Stall with Access Aisle

Commercial ADA - datum: near-left corner of stall (aisle to +X) - default footprint 156in x 216in

ADA Parking Stall with Access Aisle - plan view CAD block
ADA Parking Stall with Access Aisle - plan view, 156in x 216in

The accessible stall drawn together with its striped access aisle, on site and striping plans. It gets located nearest the accessible entrance, because this block is where the accessible route out of the parking field actually begins.

Sizing

The 96in stall and 60in aisle defaults are the car-space minimums. Widening the stall toward 132in produces van geometry, or the aisle widens toward 96in against a 96in stall to reach the same result. The 216in stall length is a local ordinance number rather than a federal one, and 180-240in covers the usual municipal spread.

Drafting notes

Datum is the near-left corner of the stall with the aisle developing toward +X. Two accessible stalls commonly share a single aisle, so mirror the second stall about the aisle centerline instead of placing a second full block and doubling the striping.

Drawn alongside

Counted against the parking-stall run, since the number of accessible spaces owed is a function of total lot count, and always drawn with ada-sign at the stall head.

ADA Accessible-Parking Sign

Commercial ADA - datum: post base - default footprint 12in x 32.4in

ADA Accessible-Parking Sign - plan view CAD block
ADA Accessible-Parking Sign - plan view, 12in x 32.4in

The post-mounted reserved-parking sign that stands at the head of each accessible stall. It is drawn as a panel-on-post glyph rather than a footprint, because a sign has no plan area worth showing at site scale. It belongs to the signage and striping sheets, and it is the one accessible-parking element that also needs a mounting height called out somewhere in the set.

Sizing

The 12 x 18in default panel is the standard reserved-parking sign size. Width adjusts 9-18in and height 12-24in to cover smaller panels and taller ones stacking a van-accessible plaque or a fine notice below the symbol. The 32.4in overall drawn height is panel plus a symbolic post stub; it is not a mounting height, and the required height to the bottom of the sign is well above it.

Drafting notes

Insertion is the post base, so it snaps directly to the pavement point picked at the head of the stall. Site plans commonly run 1in = 20ft or 1in = 30ft, at which a truly scaled 12in panel is invisible, so expect to hold the symbol at a legible fixed size and let the callout carry the real dimensions.

Drawn alongside

One instance per parking-ada stall, aligned with the head of the adjacent parking-stall run so the whole sign line reads straight across the field.

Bollard

Commercial Office - datum: post center - default footprint 8in x 8in

Bollard - plan view CAD block
Bollard - plan view, 8in x 8in

Round protective post drawn at storefronts, drive aisles, dock corners, and equipment yards. Site and MEP drafters place bollards to shield gas meters, transformers, and pedestrian zones from vehicle strike.

Sizing

The 8in default reads as a pipe with a decorative sleeve; the 6-12in range spans bare pipe up to large ornamental covers. Diameter alone establishes nothing about impact resistance, which comes from embedment, fill, and foundation - a rated unit and a decorative sleeve can plot as the same circle.

Drafting notes

Post center is the datum, so the block snaps directly to a layout point or a gridline offset and arrays at the plan's called-out spacing. Usually kept on a protection or site-furnishings layer rather than with architectural walls.

Drawn alongside

Drawn with dock levelers and drive-aisle edges, where the bollard is what keeps a backing trailer off the building corner.

Sidewalk

Site / Exterior - datum: near-left corner (runs +X) - default footprint 240in x 48in

Sidewalk - plan view CAD block
Sidewalk - plan view, 240in x 48in

Straight walk segment for site plans - entry walks, yard paths, and right-of-way sidewalks. Both edges are drawn so the sheet can carry width dimensions and score-joint spacing off the block directly.

Sizing

Default 48in wide with length 240in; width adjusts 36-72in and length 48-1200in. The 36in low end matches the minimum clear width the ADA Standards set for a walking surface on an accessible route; 48in and up lets two people pass and is the common public-walk width.

Drafting notes

The walk starts at the near-left corner and runs +X. Corners and returns each need their own insert rather than one stretched segment, because the score joints are generated perpendicular to the run and will not turn a corner correctly.

Drawn alongside

Drawn crossing the driveway apron and running past the tree and shrub plantings in the parkway strip.

Driveway with Apron

Site / Exterior - datum: near-left corner at garage end (street at +X) - default footprint 268.8in x 216in

Driveway with Apron - plan view CAD block
Driveway with Apron - plan view, 268.8in x 216in

Residential driveway run with the flared apron at the street. Site drafters register it to the garage door face and the right-of-way line; the apron geometry is usually the piece a city plan reviewer scrutinizes.

Sizing

Default 240in long (20ft) x 120in wide (10ft) with a 48in apron. Length adjusts 120-600in, width 96-240in, apron 24-96in. Ten feet is a single-car width; 20ft or wider parks two cars side by side. Municipal standard details govern the actual curb cut.

Drafting notes

The datum is the near-left corner at the garage end with the street at +X, so the block reads house-to-curb left to right. The 268.8in x 216in bbox is the flare: 48in of splay each side widens 120in to 216in at the street, and the taper adds 28.8in of length.

Drawn alongside

Drawn with the sidewalk it crosses and the mailbox set at the curb line beside the apron.
