A barrier-free path of travel should be provided from the sidewalk or roadway and parking areas to a barrier-free building entrance. This route should be located so that persons with disabilities do not have to pass behind parked cars.

Article 3.8.1.2. applies to all entrances, including public and employee entrances, that provide access to a barrier-free storey.

Doors that open onto exterior facilities that are only accessible from inside the building (e.g., hotel pools) are not considered entrances in the context of Article 3.8.1.2.
