This diagram establishes the minimum side approach maneuvering clearance required for doorways or openings without doors and gates. The layout mandates a clear floor space extending past the opening with a forty-two inch minimum dimension measured perpendicular to the approach direction. Architects and accessibility consultants reference these clearance zones to ensure compliance with building codes for unstopped passageways.
