405.7 Landings

2010 ADA Standards > 4 Accessible Routes > 405 Ramps > 405.7 Landings
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Ramps shall have landings at the top and the bottom of each ramp run.  Landings shall comply with 405.7.
Advisory 405.7 Landings.  Ramps that do not have level landings at changes in direction can create a compound slope that will not meet the requirements of this document.  Circular or curved ramps continually change direction.  Curvilinear ramps with small radii also can create compound cross slopes and cannot, by their nature, meet the requirements foraccessible routes.  A level landing is needed at the accessible door to permit maneuvering and simultaneously door operation.
Figure 405.7 Ramp Landings
Figure (a) shows in plan view a ramp with two landings, each 60 inches (1525 mm) long in the direction of the ramp run and as wide as the connecting ramp run.  Figure (b) shows a ramp that has two runs connected by a landing 60 by 60 inches (1525 by 1525 mm); each run is oriented at 90 degrees from the other run, which connect to an adjacent sides of the landing.

405.7.1 Slope

Landings shall comply with 302. Changes in level are not permitted.

EXCEPTION: Slopes not steeper than 1:48 shall be permitted.

405.7.2 Width

The landing clear width shall be at least as wide as the widest ramp run leading to the landing.

405.7.3 Length

The landing clear length shall be 60 inches (1525 mm) long minimum.

405.7.4 Change in Direction

Ramps that change direction between runs at landings shall have a clear landing 60 inches (1525 mm) minimum by 60 inches (1525 mm) minimum.

405.7.5 Doorways

ILLUSTRATION
Where doorways are located adjacent to a ramp landing, maneuvering clearances required by 404.2.4 and 404.3.2 shall be permitted to overlap the required landing area.
