Scoping [4.1.3(17)(a) & (b)]
ADAAG addresses public telephones (pay, closed circuit) that are fixed and requires access for people who use wheelchairs and for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech/language impairments. Phones with modular jacks are not addressed by ADAAG.
Wheelchair Access
A wheelchair accessible public phone is required at all interior and exterior pay phone "banks" (i.e., two or more adjacent phones). If phones are installed as single units, one per floor must be accessible. Recommendation: For exterior units, access is recommended at each pay phone or location, especially where the distance between phones is considerable (i.e., over 200 feet).
