Accessible Routes from Site Arrival Points [§206.2.1]

Figure of site with accessible routes shown leading from public sidewalk, parking, and bus stop top facility entrance. Notes: Site arrival points include accessible parking spaces and accessible passenger loading zones, public transit stops located on sites, and pubic streets and sidewalks. An accessible route must connect site arrival points to each accessible entrance they serve. Accessible routes must coincide with, or be in the same vicinity as, general circulation paths (§206.3). If no pedestrian route onto a site is provided and site entry is by vehicle only, an accessible route from the site boundary is not required (§206.2.1, Ex. 2). Where a vehicular way does provide pedestrian access, such as a shopping center parking lot, an accessible route is required.

Details of facility on a site show accessible route connection to public sidewalk within boundary of site bounded by public right-of-way, accessible parking, and bust stop. Notes: Public Streets and Sidewalks - Requirements for accessible routes apply within site boundaries (i.e., property lines or designated portions of public rights-of-ways). Connecting accessible routes to public streets and sidewalks may require coordination with local jurisdictions. Parking and Passenger Loading Zones - Accessible routes must connect to access aisles serving accessible parking spaces and accessible passenger loading zones. It is advisable, though not required, to locate accessible routes in front of parking spaces instead of behind them. Accessible routes that cross or overlap vehicular ways are not required to be marked as a crossing (but access aisles at accessible parking spaces and passenger loading zones must be marked). Public Transportation Stops - Accessible routes serving public transportation stops must connect to boarding and alighting areas and, if bus shelters are provided, to the clear floor space required within shelters.
