This will allow the system to note it as complete.  \n You are encouraged to complete the entire unit before closing incase your progress is not saved.  \n03:58  \nStart Audio Narration  \nYou must click on all images before moving onto next Lesson.  \nPedestrian Access Route (PAR)  \nThe entire pedestrian access route needs to be accessible to ensure that it is usable by all pedestrians. Pedestrian access routes must comply with the accessible route slopes, surface , dimensions, and other requirements adopted by the agency. The pedestrian access route under the ADA has requirements for construction to ensure that pedestrian facility’s constructed are accessible to the disabled population. Accessible routes are provided to allow pedestrians to get from their origin point to their destination point or public service in the public right of way.  \nThe pedestrian access route is defined in the Oregon Standard Specifications for Construction, Sec. 00759.02 as:  \n“An area for the use of pedestrians to navigate along sidewalks, driveways, curb ramps, crossings, and pedestrian facilities ”  \n00759.00 Scope- “This Work consists of furnishing, placing and finishing Commercial Grade Concrete curbs, concrete curb ramps with curbs, islands, tra fic separators, driveways, sidewalks, monolithic curb and sidewalks, miscellaneous surfaces, and stairs inclose conformity to the lines, grades and dimensions shown or established.ˮ  \nPedestrian Access Route. It is the Surface that is Accessible and Contiguous to Reach a Destination  \nPedestrian Circulation Area  \nThe traversable walkway area outside of and including the pedestrian access route is considered the pedestrian circulation area. The pedestrian circulation area is any area on the walkway that a pedestrian could use.  \nFlared side treatments, for example , are a part of the pedestrian circulation area but are not in the pedestrian access route. All areas of the pedestrian circulation area should be inspected but are not necessarily recorded on the curb ramp system inspection forms. These areas shall meet the contract plan and specification requirements.  \nHighlighted Pedestrian Circulation Area. Surface for Pedestrians ' Use  \nAn important concept related to the available pedestrian accessible route is clear width. This is discussed later in the units and lessons. The clear width recorded is determined by the applicable maximum allowable cross slope on the finished surface and the vertical clearance requirements for pedestrian to walk around or under.  \nProximity Limits  \nUnless otherwise shown on the contract plans, proximity limit is the boundary including all curb ramp system components and the sidewalk transition panels. The proximity limit extends around all new concrete and at least two feet beyond the new concrete. Proximity limits are the boundary for curb ramp system inspections. This is the area that will be measured for ADA compliance and is based on ODOT requirements. The figure below shows a curb ramp system  \nwith an outline of the proximity limits that includes two curb ramps system and the area beyond the new concrete.  \nWithin the proximity limits, conduct a general inspection looking for lips where the new work ties into existing work and record any other features, such as utilities or furniture within the proximity limits. Also verify that there are no slopes within the proximity limits that are worse than what is allowed in the contract plans.  \nIllustration of Proximity Area that Extends Around all New Concrete and  \nTwo Feet Beyond  \n01:55  \nContinue Audio Narration  \nCurb Ramp System  \nA curb ramp system provides an accessible pedestrian transition between the sidewalk and","cbCaiuekwwEwsm8w","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuekwwEwsm8w","pdf",14520453,"English","# Unit 5 Lesson 1: Introduction to Pedestrian Access Route & Curb Ramp System\n## Pedestrian Access Route (PAR)\n## Pedestrian Circulation Area\n## Proximity Limits\n## Curb Ramp System\n## Key Components and Terms","[{\"question\":\"What is the Pedestrian Access Route (PAR) and why must it be accessible?\",\"answer\":\"PAR is the continuous surface area pedestrians use to navigate along sidewalks, driveways, curb ramps, crossings, and pedestrian facilities.
