About this detail

This drawing outlines stair handrail extension requirements along accessible paths, including a twelve-inch minimum handrail extension at each top riser and bottom landing. Inner handrails at landings that double back or immediately turn remain continuous without extending into the landing or path of travel. Alteration guidelines permit smooth termination or return to the floor, wall, or post when standard extensions create a hazard. Extension lengths equal the tread width plus twelve inches minimum to the end of the level portion, conforming to references 11B-505.10.2 and 11B-505.10.3.
