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.
