Exterior paths of travel, ramps
 80.24 (1) Where an exterior path of travel is equipped with a ramp, the ramp must meet the following requirements: 1. The ramp must have a minimum clear width of 900 mm. 2. The surface of the ramp must be firm and stable. 3. The surface of the ramp must be slip resistant. 4. The ramp must have a maximum running slope of no more than 1:15. 5. The ramp must be provided with landings that meet the following requirements: i. Landings must be provided, A. at the top and bottom of the ramp, B. where there is an abrupt change in direction of the ramp, and C. at horizontal intervals not greater than nine metres apart. ii. Landings must be a minimum of 1,670 mm by 1,670 mm at the top and bottom of the ramp and where there is an abrupt change in direction of the ramp. iii. Landings must be a minimum of 1,670 mm in length and at least the same width of the ramp for an in-line ramp. iv. Landings must have a cross slope that is not steeper than 1:50. 6. Where a ramp has openings in its surface, i. the openings must not allow passage of an object that has a diameter of more than 20 mm, and ii. any elongated openings must be oriented approximately perpendicular to the direction of travel. 7. A ramp must be equipped with handrails on both sides of the ramp and the handrails must, i. be continuously graspable along their entire length and have circular cross-section with an outside diameter not less than 30 mm and not more than 40 mm, or any non-circular shape with a graspable portion that has a perimeter not less than 100 mm and not more than 155 mm and whose largest cross-sectional dimension is not more than 57 mm, ii. be not less than 865 mm and not more than 965 mm high, measured vertically from the surface of the ramp, except that handrails not meeting these requirements are permitted provided they are installed in addition to the required handrail, iii. terminate in a manner that will not obstruct pedestrian travel or create a hazard, iv. extend horizontally not less than 300 mm beyond the top and bottom of the ramp, v. be provided with a clearance of not less than 50 mm between the handrail and any wall to which it is attached, and vi. be designed and constructed such that handrails and their supports will withstand the loading values obtained from the non-concurrent application of a concentrated load not less than 0.9 kN applied at any point and in any direction for all handrails and a uniform load not less than 0.7 kN/metre applied in any direction to the handrail. 8. Where the ramp is more than 2,200 mm in width, i. one or more intermediate handrails which are continuous between landings shall be provided and located so that there is no more than 1,650 mm between handrails, and ii. the handrails must meet the requirements set out in paragraph 7. 9. The ramp must have a wall or guard on both sides and where a guard is provided, it must, i. be not less than 1,070 mm measured vertically to the top of the guard from the ramp surface, and ii. be designed so that no member, attachment or opening located between 140 mm and 900 mm above the ramp surface being protected by the guard will facilitate climbing. 10. The ramp must have edge protection that is provided, i. with a curb at least 50 mm high on any side of the ramp where no solid enclosure or solid guard is provided, or ii. with railings or other barriers that extend to within 50 mm of the finished ramp surface.
