ETA Questions: Interpretation of the "Changes in Level Are Not Permitted" Requirements

This is derived from a list of questions about sections in the ADA Standards that say "changes in level are not permitted".

1) Where the Standard specifically refers to 303, such as 403.4 changes in level for walking surfaces:

Here it is clear that changes in level that comply with either the ¼" maximum vertical rise, the ½" maximum beveled rise with a slope not steeper than 1:2, or changes in level that are ramped in compliance with 405 or 406 are acceptable where changes in level are permitted. Other examples include: 404.2.5, 608.7, 302.2, 407.4.2, and 1003.2.1 Exception 8.
