To prevent hazards to people with vision impairments from "Protruding Objects", the standards limit the projection of objects into circulation paths. These requirements apply to all circulation paths and are not limited to accessible routes. Circulation paths include interior and exterior walks, paths, hallways, courtyards, elevators, platform lifts, ramps, stairways, and landings. |

Side partitions or panels and wing walls can also be used to make protruding objects compliant. The bottom edge of panels or partitions must be 27” high maximum. |

Free-standing objects with leading edges 27" to 80" high that are mounted on posts or pylons cannot protrude more than ___ into circulation paths. The ___ limit also applies to the clearance between multiple posts (excluding the sloping portions of handrails).

Headroom clearance of at least 80" high is required along all circulation paths (except at doors and doorways where a 78" minimum clearance is permitted to accommodate door stops and closers). |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 10. |
People with vision impairments often travel closely along walls which can provide wayfinding cues sometime called a "shoreline." Objects mounted on walls, partitions, columns, and other elements along circulation paths can pose hazards unless their projection is limited. Those with leading edges that are within cane sweep (27" high maximum) or that provide minimum headroom clearance (80” minimum) do not pose hazards and can protrude any amount. |
