C2-2. Are the undersides of exterior stairs enclosed or protected with a cane detectable barrier so that people who are blind or have low vision will not hit their heads on the underside?
[ADA Stds 4.4.2]
Yes _____ No _____
If No, can a barrier or enclosure be added below the stair or can the route be relocated away from the stair?
When the underside of a stair is open, it is a hazard to people who are blind or have low vision. Enclosing the area below the stair or installing a cane-detectable barrier helps the person to stop before hitting her head.
