This is Part 3 of our discussion on the pro tips for walks and sidewalks, specifically, Section 403 of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design where we cover the slope requirements for walking surfaces and guidelines on the clear width of an accessible route. 

We're joined by two phenomenal ADA inspectors and consultants Paul Klein and Mark Wood, who are also BlueDAG co-founders. Together, they have more than 50 years of experience in the field, doing ADA inspections and developing BlueDAG. BlueDAG's Director of Content and Compliance Victor Felix also joins the discussion.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Slope requirements and exception
• Guidelines on the clear width at the turn and for passing spaces
• Allowed clear width reduction
• Different elements that come into play (standpipes, newspaper stands, planter, etc.)
