The plate shows five views. Circled numbers on each view refer to the numbered construction notes below. For example, 2 marks a turning space and 4 marks a detectable warning surface.

Parallel Curb Ramp Example (plan view): The sidewalk runs along a curved curb. It slopes down on both sides (10) to a turning space (2) at street level, which is at least 5 feet wide. A detectable warning panel lies along the curb at the turning space, and the curb next to the panel is straight.

Directional Sidewalk Ramp Example, small plan view: This is typical of a local street meeting a collector street at a corner with a 20-foot radius. Sidewalk from each street drops by a parallel curb ramp (6) into one shared turning space (2). From that turning space, a curb ramp leads into each street. Each ramp has flared sides (3), a detectable warning surface (4) at least 4 feet wide, a 2-foot taper (7), and a transition area (1) and grade break where it meets the gutter.

Directional Sidewalk Ramp Example, large plan view: The existing sidewalk on the left meets new work through a cross slope transition (1.5% target, 2.0% maximum). It then descends by a parallel curb ramp (6), up to 15 feet long, into a turning space (2) at least 4 feet wide. A directional ramp then runs down to the street, with a detectable warning surface (4), flares no steeper than 10:1 (3), a transition area (1) and a grade break. A connecting sidewalk runs up from the turning space. It keeps a clear path at least 4 feet wide past obstructions such as traffic lights, street light poles and power poles. It also includes a passing area at least 5 feet by 5 feet (8), spaced at most 200 feet apart, which is required for new construction where sidewalk is less than 5 feet wide. A cut line labeled A–A runs through this view.

Perpendicular Curb Ramp Example (plan view): Two curb ramps run straight down to the street at a corner, one per crossing. Each starts from its own turning space (2) at least 4 feet by 4 feet. Each has flared sides no steeper than 10:1 (3) and a detectable warning surface at least 4 feet wide at the bottom, next to a straight section of curb.

Section A–A (profile view): From left to right, the cut shows a cross slope transition (if necessary), then a parallel curb ramp of varying slope up to 15 feet long (6), then a turning space at least 4 feet by 4 feet with a 1.5% target and 2.0% maximum slope, then a directional or perpendicular curb ramp of varying length at a 7.5% target and 8.3% maximum slope. Concrete is at least 6 inches thick under the turning space and curb ramp (5) and at least 4 inches thick under the parallel ramp. A detail at the gutter shows the ramp meeting the gutter line, with the gutter sloping no more than 5.0% the opposite way.
