Ramp Vignette: Question for Coach

Postby dampok » Wed Jan 03, 2018 1:16 am

Coach I have a question about the width of the stairway. Since I made the 30" landing above the stair 60" wide and the stair only 44" wide, is it considered to be reduction in width in the direction of the egress travel? I have seen you mention about the width of landing below the stairs being less than the stair width a couple of times.

Thank you.

No. Landing size has no affect on required stair or ramp width.

That's different. If you choose to make stair or ramp wider than required, you must maintain that width all the way to exit.
