Does a permeable paver surface conform to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements?

Yes. ADA Design Guidelines require that surfaces be firm, stable and slip resistant. Permeable paver designs can provide a firm and stable surface for visually impaired persons and those using wheeled mobility devices. If the openings in the surface are not desirable, solid units can be used in areas subject to disabled persons. Such areas might include designated spaces in parking lots.
