63handrails extend an additional 12 inches at the bottom of stairs was deleted by the Access
B
oard in response to public comments.
Commenters noted that the revised regulations will require handrail gripping surfaces
with a circular cross section to have an outside diameter of 2 inches, and that this
requirement would impose a physical barrier to individuals with disabilities who need the
handrail for stability and support while accessing stairs.
The q
re uirement permits an outside diameter of 1¼ inches to 2 inches. This range a
llows
flexibil
ity in meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities and designers and
architec
ts. The Department is not aware
of any data indicating that an outside diameter
o
f 2 inches would pose any adverse impairment to use by individuals with disabilities.
Handra
ils Along Walkways
The 19
91 Standards do not contain any technical requirement for handrails provided
along w
alkways that are not ramps. The proposed standards regulations, section 403.6,
will spe
cify that where handrails are provided along walkways that are not
ramps, they
sh
all comply with certain technical requirements. The proposed change is expected to
have m
inimal impact.
