           Elizabeth Hilton, P.E.
           FHWA Texas Division
How The Rule is Organized
•  R1 Application and Administration
•  R2 Scoping Requirements
•  R3 Technical Requirements
  •    Pedestrian Access Route
  •    Curb Ramps and Blended Transitions
  •    Accessible Pedestrian Signals
  •    Transit Stops/Shelters
  •    Street Furniture
  •    On-street Parking/Passenger Loading Zones
•  R4 Supplementary Technical Requirements
New Construction




Accessibility is easiest to achieve in new construction
Alterations
•  In alterations, it may
   not be possible to meet
   all of the accessibility
   requirements
•  Follow new
   construction
   provisions to the extent
   possible
•  Transition segments
   comply to extent
   practicable
Pedestrian Access Route (PAR)
•  4 feet minimum exclusive of the curb
•  Follow roadway grade except on exclusive
pedestrian structures
•  Alternate route required when PAR is
closed (ref Part 6 MUTCD). Continuous
edge required for ped delineation
•  2 ramps per corner req’d in new constt.
Diagonals last choice & only in alterations
Pedestrian Access Route (PAR)

•  Max cross slope 2%
•  More flexibility at
   street crossings:
  •  2% max if stop/yield
     control
  •  5% max if signalized or
     uncontrolled              2% cross slope max
  •  Match street grade at
     midblock crossings
Transit Stops & Shelters




•  Connect boarding areas and shelters and
pedestrian network with a PAR
•  Rule covers areas for lift or ramp
deployment as well as shelters, signage &
connection to pedestrian network
Detectable Warnings




                           < 5’
•  Place DW on curb ramp at grade break if level landing at
   bottom of ramp is less than 5’ deep.
•  Place DW on bottom landing if landing is more than 5’ deep
   at any point (DW moves but grade break does not).
APS




Accessible pedestrian signals (APS) required when:
•  New pedestrian signals are installed
•  Signal head replaced
•  Controller and software altered
Roundabouts




•  Pedestrian crossing easily located for way
   finding at all roundabouts
•  Where pedestrian crossings are multi-lane;
   pedestrian-activated signals shall be provided.
