Why this matters

1.5 × 1.5 m is the minimum space for a wheelchair user to fully turn around. Smaller landings force users into multi-point turns or block other users on two-way ramps.

Typical practice

Universal accessible standard. Increases to 2.0 × 2.0 m at door approaches where the user must also reach for the door handle.
