Turning Space
As noted above, doors can swing into the turning space in all cases. While elements with
compliant knee and toe space can partially overlap the turning space, keeping the turning
space entirely clear enhances usability.
Door Maneuvering Clearance
The door maneuvering clearance must always be clear of any fixtures or elements.
