The elements <br />are part of those items that a disabled person encounters in the "approachability" of whatever they <br />are attempting to access that may include, but are not limited to, approaching a door, an ATM device, <br />an accessible parking space or a ramp. The items may allow, inhibit or altogether prohibit access by <br />a disabled individual when designed and /or constructed incorrectly and thus become an <br />architectural barrier to the user in and of them. Such universal elements for access include but, are <br />not limited to, the items as listed below: <br />➢ Floor or Ground Conditions <br />➢ Changes in Level <br />➢ Turning and Maneuvering Spaces <br />➢ Clear Spaces <br />➢ Knee and Toe Spaces <br />➢ Protruding Objects <br />➢ Hazards <br />➢ Reach Ranges <br />➢ Operable Parts <br />August 27, 2014 SSA Project #14048 Page 15 of 28 <br />
