4.2.4.2 Relationship of Maneuver-
ing Clearance to Wheelchair Spaces.
One full unobstructed side of the clear
floor or ground space for a wheelchair
shall adjoin or overlap an accessible
route or adjoin another wheelchair clear
floor space. If a clear floor space is lo-
cated in an alcove or otherwise confined
on all or part of three sides, additional
maneuvering clearances shall be pro-
vided as shown in Fig. 4(d) and 4(e).
4.2.4.3 Surfaces for Wheelchair
Spaces. Clear floor or ground spaces for
wheelchairs shall comply with 4.5
(Ground and Floor Surfaces).
4.2.5 Forward Reach. If the clear
floor space only allows forward ap-
proach to an object, the maximum high
forward reach allowed shall be 48 inches
(1220 mm) (see Fig. 5(a)). The mini-
mum low forward reach is 15 inches
(380 mm). If the high forward reach is
over an obstruction, reach and clear-
ances shall be as shown in Fig. 5(b).
