I understand that there are different definitions and requirements between these two conditions and that the common path of egress is part of the total exit access travel distance but I'm having trouble understanding how one is identified from the other.
Exit access travel distance - the distance between the most remote point of the exist access to the entrance or exit (typically 200' max)
Common path of Egress Travel - The portion of an exit access that reaches two separate paths of egress leading to two available exits (typically 75')
The fact is the exist access does eventually lead to two separate paths of egress so why seperate out a common path of egress? Is there always a common path of egreess travel? It's obviously confusing to me..!
any help is appreciated...
