Intent | Intent 1: To supersede the minimum width requirements stated in Sentence 3.8.1.3.(1) and Clause 3.8.3.2.(1)(b) and require a greater minimum
width for long barrier-free paths of travel, on the basis that an inadequate
width does not permit two persons using manual wheelchairs or other manual
mobility assistance devices to pass each other. This is
to limit the probability that a person using a manual wheelchair or other
manual mobility assisting device will have to wait an excessively long time
for another person using a manual wheelchair or other manual mobility assistance
device to complete the transit along the barrier-free path of travel.
