Accessibility Concepts
Accessible Route – For a BFRC store to be accessible and usable, elements addressed in Part A – Accessible Route, must be connected by an
accessible route that meets the criteria described on the compliance form.
Range of Reach – Many people who are of short stature or who use wheelchairs cannot reach as high as an average size standing person.
Restroom Turn Around Space – An appropriate size circular or "T" turn clear floor space will allow most wheelchairs to easily turn around.
While a circular turn is generally preferred, a "T" turn may often be more easily identifiable.
Closed Fist/Flail Hand – People with arthritis, hand injuries or amputations, or high spinal cord injuries often may have difficulty making (or
may not be able to make) a tight grip, pinching, twisting their wrist or making fine finger movements. If a device can be operated with your
hand formed into a loosely clenched fist or open (flail) hand with the thumb against the palm, most people should be able to operate it.
Measuring Slope – Use the digital slope meter or a level and tape measure to determine both front/back and cross slopes along the
approximate longitudinal center line, near the top, middle and bottom. If either the average or any two of the three measurements for
front/back or cross slope exceeds the Allowable Tolerance, that slope condition will be considered non-conforming.
