NOTE: These provisions do not apply to curb ramps.

fully open. 1007.4.3a 4.8.4(4) Fig. 35

INTERPRETATIONS: In California's 1989 edition of the Accessibility
Standards Interpretive Manual (July 19, 1989), the diagram depicting a
ramp landing at a doorway (Figure 33-118) showed "Door width plus 42"
In both directions for the ramp dimensions. Although this design worked
In the majority of situations, it was never a true representation of the actual
dimensional requirements for ramp landings at doorways. It Is not
required to provide a "door width plus 42" boxed landing at the top of a
ramp. Califomia has amended this diagram In their current guidelines to
reflect the actual requirement
You will note on the diagrams Immediately following this paragraph that
the placement of a pedestrian ramp that is both adjacent and parallel to a
building frontage requires a good deal of consideration. Since doors
cannot reduce the required width of a ramp (this Includes the landing) by
more than 3" when fully open, a door that encroaches by more than 3" into
the required landing width will require the provision of a full landing error
to the door. The length of this landing would be dependent on whether it
was at the top or bottom of the ramp slope; 60" minimum at the top of a
ramp and 72" minimum at the bottom of a ramp. This design requirement
makes considerable sense; an Individual In a wheelchair would not be able
to avoid hitting a fully open door that extended into a landing with only
42" of clearance between the ,terminus of the ramp and the door.
Checklist item "C" above states "Minimum strike side clearance is
provided". While Califomia's regulations only require that this clearance
must be. 24" at exterior ramps and 18" at exterior ramps, you may still be
required to provide additional clearance dependent on direction of
approach, width of access to the door, and whether or not the door has a
latch and closer to comply with ADA provisions. Please refer to Checklist
Section 28 of this book titled "CLEAR SPACE AT DOORS" for
additional considerations.

■ INTERPRETATIONS: A comprehensive understanding of4he
■ requirements for providing correct maneuvering and strike side clearances
■ at doors is paramount The incorporation of ADA guidelines into
■ California's accessibility standards has resulted in increased minimum
t clearances depending on the direction of approach to the -door, which way
i it swings, and whether or not it has.a latch and closer. The required strike
■ side clearance on an interior door was formerly a standard 18"; clearance
■ could now be 36" depending on approach and door swing. The required
■ landing length opposite the direction of the door swing was formerly a
■ standard 44"; required. landing length will now be 48" in most cases.
■ Familiarity with the diagrams and details Is necessary to provide for
■ correct applications.
