Wheelchair Turning Space
Wheelchair Turning Space
A wheelchair requires at least 60" in diameter to make a 180 degree turn.
To conserve space, a T-shaped turning space with aisles 36" wide allowing a three-point turn is also acceptable.
A portion of the diameter or T-shaped turning space may be located under fixtures, lavatories or accessories as long as the required knee and toe clearance is provided.
