A passenger loading zone is designated space for boarding and alighting, with an access aisle and geometry that protects the pedestrian movement it exists to serve. In a parking facility:

Considerations
- Accessible loading zones carry specific dimensional and route requirements. The loading zone is the facility’s handshake with the pedestrian.
