4.2.4 Clear Floor or Ground Space for Wheelchairs.
4.2.4.1 Size and Approach. The minimum clear oor or ground space required to accommodate a single, stationary wheelchair and
occupant is 30 inches by 48 inches (760 mm by 1220 mm) (see Fig.4a). The minimum clear oor or ground space for wheelchairs
may be positioned for forward or parallel approach to an object (see Fig. 4b and 4c). Clear oor or ground space for wheelchairs
may be part of the knee space required under some objects.
4.2.4.2 Relationship of Maneuvering Clearance to Wheelchair Spaces. One full unobstructed side of the clear oor or ground
space for a wheelchair shall adjoin or overlap an accessible route or adjoin another wheelchair clear oor space. If a clear oor space
is located in an alcove or otherwise conned on all or part of three sides, additional maneuvering clearances shall be provided as
shown in Fig. 4(d) and 4(e).

Figures 4d. Clear Floor Space in Alcoves.
Figures 4e. Clear Floor Space in Alcove.
For a front approach, where the depth of the alcove is equal to
or less than 24 inches (610 mm), the required clear oor space
is 30 inches by 48 inches (760 mm by 1220 mm).
For a front approach, if the depth of the alcove is greater than
24 inches (610 mm), then in addition to the 30-inch (760 mm)
width, a maneuvering clearance of 6 inches (150 mm) in width
is required.
