Islands [§406.7]

A 48” min. long separation is necessary between curb ramps so that people using wheelchairs can clear one ramp before negotiating the next. Level cut-throughs provide an effective alternative, especially at narrow islands that will not accommodate opposing curb ramps with a 48” separation. 

Island with Curb Ramps

Pedestrian island with 36” min. wide curb ramps on both sides separated by a level segment at least 48” long

Island with Cut-through

Cut-through pedestrian island with route at least 36” wide
