to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that a person with a visual impairment
[or disability] will be unable to determine the floor number by reason of
being unable to reach raised numbers and feel them, which could lead to delays
in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead
to harm to persons. |
