C2-1. Are all sidewalks and walkways to the voting area free of any objects (e.g., wall-mounted boxes, signs, handrail extensions, trees) with bottom edges that are higher than 27 inches but less than 80 inches above the walkway and that extend more than 4 inches into the sidewalk or walkway? [ADA Stds 4.4, 4.2.1(3), 4.1.3(2)]
Yes _____ No _____
If No, can the object be lowered, removed, or modified or can the route be changed to avoid the object?
This wall-mounted box is mounted too high to be detectable by a person who is blind. Placing an object, like this sign, under the box provides a way to warn the person before they walk into the side of the box.
C2-2. Are the undersides of exterior stairs enclosed or protected with a cane detectable barrier so that people who are blind or have low vision will not hit their heads on the underside?
[ADA Stds 4.4.2]
Yes _____ No _____
If No, can a barrier or enclosure be added below the stair or can the route be relocated away from the stair?
When the underside of a stair is open, it is a hazard to people who are blind or have low vision. Enclosing the area below the stair or installing a cane-detectable barrier helps the person to stop before hitting her head.
C2-3. Are all objects that hang over the pedestrian routes 80 inches or more above the route?
If No, can the objects be removed or relocated, or can a detectable object be added below?
Yes _____ No _____
At least 80 inches above walk
