What angle must doors be positioned at to an accessible route?

Doors that are part of an accessible route must be positioned at a 90-degree angle when fully open. This is the standard because it allows for sufficient clearance for individuals using mobility devices, such as wheelchairs, to pass through comfortably and safely. When a door opens to 90 degrees, it provides maximum space without obstructing the pathway, ensuring compliance with accessibility guidelines that promote ease of access for all individuals.

Angles less than or greater than 90 degrees could create challenges in maneuvering, potentially compromising the accessibility of the route. Therefore, maintaining a 90-degree angle when doors are open aligns with best practices for accessibility, ensuring they meet legal requirements and promote inclusivity.
