ADA rules require a minimum landing size of 60 inches by 60 inches (5 feet by 5 feet) to accommodate a full 180-degree wheelchair turn. The landing must maintain a slope no greater than 2.00% in any direction to prevent rolling. During sidewalk curb ramp construction in NYC, contractors must design a compliant top landing to ensure that wheelchair users have a level resting space before descending the ramp into the active crosswalk.
