TURNING SPACES—Interior and exterior turning spaces are firm, stable, slip resistant, and 1 : 48 is the maximum cross slope and running slope.

TURNING SPACES—Interior and exterior turning spaces are firm, stable, slip resistant, and 1 : 48 is the maximum cross slope and running slope.

Although turning spaces have minimum widths and depths, those minimums are guidelines. The general rule is minimum widths and depths should be increased in size wherever space permits. The Elliptical Turning Space below is an example.

90 DEGREE TURN THROUGH A DOORWAY—An accessible doorway has a floor space on either side called a landing. There is no all-encompassing guideline for a doorway's landing size because: A landing's width and depth have several determining factors: Appro

90 DEGREE TURN THROUGH A DOORWAY—An accessible doorway has a floor space on either side called a landing. There is no all-encompassing guideline for a doorway's landing size because: A landing's width and depth have several determining factors: Approach direction, hardware location, and door swing are only three of the considerations. The entrance landing and interior landing sections on pages 49 and 87 detail landing sizes.

ASSOCIATED 90 DEGREE TURNS—Turn One, when the distance between two 90 degree turns is less than 48 inches (1219 mm), if routes A and C are 42 inches (1067 mm) minimum in width, 48 inches is the minimum width of route B.

ASSOCIATED 90 DEGREE TURNS—Turn Two, when the distance between two 90 degree turns is less than 48 inches (1219 mm), if routes A and C are 36 inches (914 mm) minimum in width, 60 inches (1524 mm) is the minimum width of route B.

CIRCULAR TURNING SPACE—60 inches (1524 mm) is the minimum diameter of a Circular Turning Space. Knee space and toe space beneath an ADA compliant lavatory are illustrated on this page. Knee and toe space guidelines are on page 132.

T - SHAPED TURNING SPACE—Within a 60 by 60 inch (1524 x 1524 mm) square: a. two arms and a base are 36 inches (914 mm) wide minimum. b. Both arms are clear of obstructions 12 inches (305 mm) minimum in each direction. c. The base is clear of obstr

T - SHAPED TURNING SPACE—Within a 60 by 60 inch (1524 x 1524 mm) square: a. two arms and a base are 36 inches (914 mm) wide minimum. b. Both arms are clear of obstructions 12 inches (305 mm) minimum in each direction. c. The base is clear of obstructions 24 inches (610 mm) minimum. d. The end of one arm or the base can include knee and toe space clearance. Note: This series of 90 degree turns within the confines of the T - shape requires backing and filling while wheels and toes are repeatedly, if not in contact with perimeter walls, very close to them.

ELLIPTICAL TURNING SPACE—A 60 by 78 inches (1524 x 1981 mm) Elliptical Turning Space is easier to turn around in than the Circular turning space. An Elliptical Turning Space can also take advantage of knee and toe space below an ADA-compliant fixture

ELLIPTICAL TURNING SPACE—A 60 by 78 inches (1524 x 1981 mm) Elliptical Turning Space is easier to turn around in than the Circular turning space. An Elliptical Turning Space can also take advantage of knee and toe space below an ADA-compliant fixture requiring knee clearance.

TURNING NOTES—The Elliptical Turning Space provides the most room for a 180 degree turn. The Circular Turning Space is smaller, requiring thought and care while turning. The T - Shaped Turning Space is the most restricting turning space. The circles

TURNING NOTES—The Elliptical Turning Space provides the most room for a 180 degree turn. The Circular Turning Space is smaller, requiring thought and care while turning. The T - Shaped Turning Space is the most restricting turning space. The circles or ellipses in the remainder of this guide are 60 inch (1524 mm) in diameter circles or 60 x 78 inch (1524 x 1981 mm) ellipses.
