Wheelchair-accessible ramps requiring barriers must have a handrail how high on each side?

  1. 18 to 20 inches

  2. 22 to 24 inches

  3. 26 to 28 inches

  4. 30 to 32 inches

The correct answer is: 26 to 28 inches

Ramps requiring barriers are ramps that have a drop-off of more than 30 inches. These ramps must have a guardrail or barrier on each side for safety purposes. The handrail is required to be between 26 to 28 inches above the ramp surface for accessibility and to prevent falls. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not fall within the required height range for handrails on wheelchair-accessible ramps with barriers. Option A and B are too low and option D is too high. Option C is the only answer that falls within the specified height range for handrails on these types of ramps.
