[As of] December 21, 2017, the Department of Justice has withdrawn and, where applicable, removed from ADA.gov [this] technical assistance document. [This] document is outdated and does not fully reflect current law or has been replaced by a more up-to-date document. Withdrawal of a guidance document does not change covered entities’ legal responsibilities, as reflected in the ADA, its implementing regulations, and other binding legal requirements and judicial precedent. The Department will continue to fully and fairly enforce all laws within its jurisdiction, including the ADA.
Note: This document, portion of document or referenced document was published prior to the 2010 ADA Standards, and
is still applicable.
Error/Omission:
Landing areas where ramps change direction (e.g., switchbacks or 90° turns) are too small.
Result:
Wheelchair users are unable to go up or down the ramp because there is not enough space to turn on a level surface. This makes the ramp unusable.
Requirement:
4.8.4* (3) If ramps change direction at landings, the minimum landing size shall be 60 in by 60 in (1525 mm by 1525 mm).
* Asterisk denotes that related, non-mandatory material is in the Appendix to the Standards.
