1 is to 6
- C.
1: 20
- D.
1:30
Correct Answer
A. 1 is to 12Explanation
The correct answer is 1 is to 12. Dropped curbs are designed to provide a smooth transition from the road to the sidewalk for pedestrians, including those with mobility devices. The gradient of the ramped curb should not exceed 1 is to 12, meaning that for every 1 unit of vertical rise, there should be 12 units of horizontal distance. This ensures that the ramp is not too steep and allows for safe and easy access for all pedestrians.Rate this question:

1 is to 12
- B.
1 is to 6
- C.
1: 20
- D.
1:30
Correct Answer
C. 1: 20Explanation
Dropped curbs should be sloped towards the road with a maximum cross gradient of 1:20 to prevent water from collecting at the walkway. This means that for every 20 units of horizontal distance, the curb should drop by 1 unit vertically. This slope helps to ensure that water drains away from the walkway and does not accumulate, which can create hazards and make the area unsafe for pedestrians.Rate this question:

- D.
25 mm
Correct Answer
D. 25 mmExplanation
The lowest point of a dropped curb from the road or gutter should not exceed 25 mm. This is because a higher curb could pose a potential hazard for pedestrians, especially those using mobility aids such as wheelchairs or strollers. A lower curb ensures a smoother transition between the road and the sidewalk, making it easier and safer for everyone to navigate.Rate this question:

- D.
1 is to 100
Correct Answer
C. 1 is to 12Explanation
Curb cut-outs should have a gradient not more than 1 is to 12. This means that for every 12 units of horizontal distance, the curb cut-out should have a maximum vertical rise of 1 unit. This ensures that the slope of the curb cut-out is not too steep, making it easier and safer for pedestrians, particularly those with mobility issues, to navigate. A gradient of 1 is to 12 provides a gradual incline, allowing for smooth and accessible passage.Rate this question:

- A.
3%
- B.
4%
- C.
5%
- D.
2%
Correct Answer
C. 5%Explanation
Walkways should be kept as level as possible and provided with slip-resistant material. A gradient refers to the slope or incline of the walkway. The lower the gradient, the less steep the walkway is. In order to ensure safety and prevent accidents, it is recommended to have a maximum gradient of 5% on walkways. This means that the slope should not exceed a 5% incline, keeping the walkway relatively level and easier to navigate without the risk of slipping or tripping.Rate this question:

- D.
1 is to 100
Correct Answer
D. 1 is to 100Explanation
The maximum cross gradient of a walkway is 1 is to 100. This means that for every 100 units of horizontal distance, the walkway rises or falls by 1 unit. A cross gradient of 1 is to 100 indicates a gradual slope, making it easier and safer for people to walk on the walkway.Rate this question:

1.20 m
- B.
1.00 m
- C.
1.50 m
- D.
1.80 m
Correct Answer
A. 1.20 mExplanation
The minimum width of a walkway is 1.20 m. This width allows for comfortable passage of individuals and ensures that there is enough space for people to walk side by side without feeling crowded. A narrower width could lead to congestion and make it difficult for people to pass each other, while a wider width may not be necessary and could result in wasted space. Therefore, 1.20 m is considered the minimum width for a walkway.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 6.5 mmExplanation
The correct answer is 6.5 mm. This is because walkways should have a continuing surface without abrupt pitches in angle or interruptions by cracks or breaks creating edges above. A pitch in angle or interruptions by cracks or breaks can create tripping hazards and make it difficult for people to walk smoothly. A surface with a height difference of 6.5 mm would be more likely to create a tripping hazard compared to the other options.Rate this question:

In lengthy or busy walkways, spaces should be provided at some point along the route so that a wheelchair may pass another or turn around. These spaces should have a minimum dimension of 1.5 m and should be spaced at a maximum distance of ?
- A.
12 m between stops
- B.
6 m between stops
- C.
10 m between stops
- D.
15 m between stops
Correct Answer
B. 6 m between stopsExplanation
The maximum distance between stops should be determined by ensuring that individuals using wheelchairs have sufficient access to turning points or areas where they can pass each other comfortably. Given that spaces for turning or passing should have a minimum dimension of 1.5 m, it is important to consider the maximum distance between stops in order to ensure that individuals using wheelchairs have access to these spaces frequently enough along the route.
If we assume that the maximum distance between stops should allow for at least one turning or passing space along the route, then the maximum distance between stops should not exceed the distance that would require a wheelchair user to travel more than 1.5 m without access to such a space.
Therefore, the maximum distance between stops should be less than or equal to 6 m (since 6 m would allow a wheelchair user to travel 1.5 m and still have access to another space for turning or passing).Rate this question:

To guide the blind, walkways should as much as possible follow straight forward routes in?
- A.
45 degree angle
- B.
Right angle
- C.
Perfect rounded curve
- D.
Chamfered corner with metal gratings
Correct Answer
B. Right angleExplanation
To guide the blind effectively, walkways should follow right angles as much as possible. Right angles provide clear and distinct paths, making it easier for visually impaired individuals to navigate and maintain a straight line of travel. This minimizes confusion and potential hazards, ensuring a safer and more accessible environment for the blind.Rate this question:

Walkway headroom is preferably higher. and should not be less than? 2.40 m 2.10 m 2.00 m x 2.70 m
- A.
2.40 m
- B.
2.10 m
- C.
2.00 m
- D.
2.70 m
Correct Answer
C. 2.00 mExplanation
The correct answer is 2.00 m. The question is asking for the minimum headroom height for a walkway. A higher headroom is preferred to ensure that people can comfortably walk without hitting their heads on the ceiling. The answer of 2.00 m indicates that the headroom should not be less than this height.Rate this question:
