Common Use Circulation Paths
In addition to the approach, enter, and exit requirements of TAS 203.9, employee work areas must also comply with the circulation path requirements of TAS 206.2.8.
Based on TAS 206.2.8, common use circulation paths located within employee work areas must comply with the accessible route requirements of TAS 402 unless the circulation paths meet one of the Exceptions in TAS 206.2.8. The term “circulation path” is defined in TAS 106.5.19.
This means that walks, hallways, and other exterior and interior pedestrian routes connecting other work areas, spaces, and elements within employee work areas must now be accessible unless exempted. There are, however, Exceptions for walking surfaces and ramps in TAS 403.5, 405.5, or 405.8.
