Horizontal escape routes to storey exits
Provisions for horizontal escape routes focus on providing multiple routes (except where single routes are permitted), limiting travel distance, and ensuring adequate widths.
The provisions in paragraphs 2.41 to 2.59 relate to horizontal escape routes leading to storey exits. They are mainly concerned with providing more than one escape route (except in the circumstances described in paragraph 2.41), limiting the distance to be travelled, and ensuring that the routes are of adequate width.
