Slope Compliance
The slope of the accessible route from the parking spaces to the building entrance should be less than 1:20 (one inch elevation change for each 20 inches traveled). In the cases where the slope exceeds this maximum slope, the guidelines for ramps come into effect. These specifications typically require handrails depending on their rise and run. It is crucial that for accessible routes spanning a parking lot that attempts are made to find a route that is less than 1:20 slope.
