Question: what is the standard width of a footpath?
Answer: The width of the of the footpath can vary as per the adjacent land use. Footpaths in residential areas require a minimum clear width of 1.8 m, which is enough space for two wheelchairs to pass each other. For commercial areas, the clear width should be at least 2.5 m (IRC:103-2012, 6.1. 5.2).
