CORNER DESIGN CONSIDERTAIONS The size of a curb’s radius can have a significant impact on pedestrian comfort and safety. A smaller curb radius provides more pedestrian area at the corner, allows more flexibility in the placement of curb ramps, results in a shorter crossing distance and requires vehicles to slow more on the intersection approach. During the design phase, the chosen radius should be the smallest possible for the circumstances and consider the effective radius in any design vehicle turning modeling.

ACCESSIBLE CURB RAMPS • Curb ramps shall slope no more than 1:10, with a maximum cross slope of 2.0%. A slope of no more than 1:12 is desirable. • If the ramp runs directly into a crosswalk, the landing at the bottom will be in the roadway. • The level landing at the top of a ramp shall be a minimum of 5’-0” long (in the direction of the ramp run) and at least as wide as the ramp. If there is a change in direction between ramps and landings, the landing should be a minimum of 5’-0” wide. • Curb ramps shall be located so that they do not project into vehicular traffic lanes, parking spaces, or parking access aisles. Three configurations are illustrated above. • Diagonal curb ramps are not
