Advisory 11B-405.7.5 Doors at ramp landings. Where a door swings onto a ramp landing width, additional ramp landing length as specified may be necessary to accommodate a clear level area for the wheelchair user to clear the door swing and not risk rolling backward down the ramp run. Where the ramp width is less than the landing width, additional ramp landing length may be provided as a level extension at the top of the ramp run, or the entire width of the landing. ◼

ETA Editor's Note

Since the 2010 ADA Standards makes no distinction between top, bottom, and intermediate landings, CBC is more stringent regarding ramp landings. Also, CBC allows less encroachment of doors onto ramp landings.
