Landings for wheelchair users

Wheelchair users need adequate space to stop on landings, to open and pass through doors without having to reverse into circulation routes and to avoid the risk of rolling back down slopes. A landing should be provided at the top and bottom of a ramp. A landing should be level, however, it may have a gradient along its length not steeper than 1 in 60. The unobstructed length of a landing should be not less than 1200 mm. Where a landing is between two ramps, it should have an unobstructed length of not less than 1500 mm.
