SECTION 1133B
GENERAL ACCESSIBILITY FOR ENTRANCES, EXITS AND PATHS OF TRAVEL
1133B.5 Ramps.
1133B.5.4.5 Landing width. At bottom and intermediate landings, the width shall be at least the same as required for the ramps.
1133B.5.4.6 Change of direction. Intermediate and bottom landings at a change of direction in excess of 30 degrees shall have a dimension in the direction of ramp run of not less than 72 inches (1829 mm) to accommodate the handrail extension.
ETA Editor's Note
The requirements of 2010 CBC 1133B.5 are more stringent than those of 1991 ADAAG 4.8 regarding landing sizes. The landing width requirement of 2013 CBC 11B-405.7.4 at a change of direction is larger than that of 2010 CBC for ramps narrower than 60 inches.
