Ontario Building Code Practice Exam

Which of the following is not a requirement for an accessible route in a residential building?

1. Ramp with handrails

2. Level landings at changes of direction

3. Minimum width of 0.9 meters

4. Non-slip surface

The correct answer is: Minimum width of 0.9 meters

An accessible route in a residential building is required to have a minimum width of 0.9 meters. This is to ensure that there is enough space for people using mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, to move comfortably and safely through the building. Options A, B, and D are all important requirements for an accessible route. Having a ramp with handrails, level landings at changes of direction, and a non-slip surface all contribute to making the route more accessible and user-friendly for people with disabilities. Therefore, C is the only incorrect option as it is a necessary requirement for an accessible route in a residential building.
