The clear width of walking surfaces must be 36 inches minimum
The clear width of walking surfaces must be 36 inches minimum
30” x 48” is the minimum width.
The slope requirements for different parts of an accessible route vary.
Walkways 5%
Ramps 8.33%
Landings 2%
Elevator car 2%
Accessible parking 2%
8.33% is the maximum for a ramp slope.
36 inches is the maximum height.
