Which of the following is not a requirement for an accessible route in a residential building?

  1. Ramp with handrails

  2. Level landings at changes of direction

  3. Minimum width of 0.9 meters

  4. Non-slip surface

The correct answer is: Minimum width of 0.9 meters

The other options (A, B, and D) are all requirements for an accessible route in a residential building. A ramp with handrails allows for wheelchair and walker access, level landings at changes of direction provide a safe and stable transition, and a non-slip surface ensures that individuals with mobility impairments can safely navigate the route. However, a minimum width of 0.9 meters is not a requirement for an accessible route in a residential building. While a wider route may be preferred for easier passing and maneuverability, a width of at least 0.8 meters is still considered accessible.
