A minimum width of 30 inches is generally sufficient for stationary space. Additional clearance is needed for maneuvering and sway. A clear width of at least 48 inches (recommended but not required) allows for comfortable flow for people who use wheelchairs and people who are ambulatory. Space at least 60 inches wide is the minimum width that allows passage of two wheelchairs.
