Under bp344, if a ramp leads down toward an area with vehicular traffic and has a rise greater than 200mm, what additional safety feature is required?

A railing across the full width of the lower end of the ramp, at least 1800mm from the foot of the ramp

According to bp344, can a ramp be substituted by stairs when there is a change in level?

No, change in level requires a ramp, unless there is a dropped sidewalk, curb ramp, elevator, or mechanical device

What are the 2 main surface requirements for accessible corridors under bp344?

Floor must be level and stable, floor surface mist be slip-resistant under wet and dry conditions.

For a building under bp344, what is the minimum requirement for accessible entrance points?

At least 1 accessible entrance from arrival/departure points to interior lobby

If there is no change in elevation, is a ramp still required under bp 344

No, ramp is not required if there is no change in elevation, ramp is only for changes in level

Horizontal or graphical patterns with at least 30% luminance contrast between 800mm to 1500 mm above the floor.

Under bp344, what is the minimum width for accessible routes connecting parking, sidewalks, and building entrances (walkways)?

Minimum 1500mm (corridor/walkway width) to allow mobility aids, although ramp clear width is 1200mm

What must be added at the center of this ramp as per BP344’s appendix

Intermediate handrails (double J type supports are recommended) when ramp is >_ 3000mm wide

According to bp344, what are the requirements for surface materials for floors and ground surfaces un accessible buildings or walkways

They should be slip-resistant under wet and dry conditions, and must be stable and level

What is the minimum curb height required on a ramp under BP344?

Minimum of 100mm

Under bp344, does a ramp always need a landing if gradient and length are within limits?

Not necessarily, landings are required when ramp total length exceeds 10.50m (or in special cases as table indicates)

What must be provided along this ramp according to bp344?

Intermediate landings with minimum length of 1800mm

What does bp344 require regarding weather protection for accessible emtrances and exits?

They must have full weather protection (from rain and heat) along accessible routes including stairs, ramps, lifts if any

Illutration based, if this space is a dead-end corridor, whatbis the minimum dimension of turn-about space required under bp-344

1800mm x1800mm turn about space

Illus based, what extra safety elements does this ramp need according to bp344?

A railing accross the full width at the lower end of the ramp, at least 1800mm from the foot of the ramp

No. Level changes may also be handked via dropped sidewalks, curb ramps, elevators, or mechanical devices

Illus based, why is the ramp required here under bp344?

Because there is a change in level and unless there’s a dropped sidewalk, curb ramp, elevator, or mechanical device, a ramp must be provided
