ADA compliance requires sidewalks less than 60” to have passing zones every 200 feet. Which is why USUALLY you’ll just have a 60” wide sidewalk. 36” is the bareminimum for ADA compliance. So. That.
The one you’re showing would simply not be compliant in some states and unless they’re counting the driveways as “passing zones” idk how this meets ADA compliance
They are brand new modern sidewalks that exceed international standards.
60” sidewalks aren’t a thing.
Are you confusing footpaths and sidewalks like the other user is too? They’re totally different things, and all footpaths in the city are 2.4m and changing 4m.
I provided you the exact specifications from ADA, they say 36” lol.
And maybe where you are, they are thing, but not here since they would break every winter. So that’s why the ADA doesn’t have requirements that wide, since some states are frost states.
It’s almost like our infrastructure is designed for our location or something….
You’re obviously conflating things, since ADA is 36”, what agency are you thinking of instead? Because the ADA is exceeded by our model building code. So your claims are just fucking wild at this point. They wouldn’t build something that doesn’t meet or exceed the code minimum. Are you just making shit up for fun now?
Provide the ADA requirement that states what you’re thinking. This is part of my job, I can look it up and take a picture of the code book for you. If you can be arsed to provide the code reference #?
So like, technically a sidewalk but that sidewalk is gonna be embarrassed af in gym class
It exceeds international standards. What the hell are you basing it off of?

ADA has no such requirements, and can be reduced down to 32” in places.

You have to atleast compare the same things here.
I have 60” sidewalks in front of my house and all throughout my city.
When sidewalks reduce to 32” they are required to have a passing zone of 60” minimum every 200’
Maybe there’s a carve out for private communities, but your sidewalk here is definitely not ADA compliant.
The PROWAG is even more stringent at 48” minimumsz

International bare minimums maybe. I’m used to 1.5m but sounds like even 1.2m is more of a standard than 1.0m
Can barely even walk beside/past someone comfortably with 1.0m wide sidewalks
