Temporary Suspension.
Temporary Suspension
In response to business and user concerns about the need for the detectable warnings specified in 4.29 at curb ramps and hazardous vehicular areas, the Access Board suspended the requirement pending further study. This suspension is in effect until July 26,1998; extension of this suspension to July 26, 2000, has been proposed. This suspends the requirements for detectable warnings at:
Detectable warnings are not prohibited by this suspension; jurisdictions may continue to install the truncated domes specified in ADAAG or other surfaces or technologies if they wish but are not obligated to do so. (If a requirement for detectable warnings is re-instituted after the suspension, it would apply to new construction or alterations occurring after re-instatement and not apply retroactively to work undertaken during the period of suspension).
