Wheelchair forward approach clearances require a minimum clear floor space of thirty inches wide by forty-eight inches deep. Alcove configurations deeper than twenty-four inches require a minimum clear width of thirty-six inches. Alternative forward approaches without alcoves maintain the thirty-inch minimum width requirement. These clearances ensure adequate accessibility for users approaching fixtures and workspaces head-on.
