What is the maximum horizontal run between landings for ramps intended to provide wheelchair access on a play structure?

< 120 in.
< 130 in.
< 144 in.
< 150 in.

The correct answer is: < 144 in.

A ramp is a sloped structure used to provide wheelchair access on a play structure. According to ADA guidelines, the maximum horizontal run between landings for such ramps should be less than or equal to 144 inches (12 feet). This is to ensure that individuals using a wheelchair or other mobility device can safely navigate the ramp without encountering an excessively long section. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they either exceed or equal the maximum allowed horizontal run, which may make it difficult for individuals with mobility impairments to use the ramp safely.
