Intent 1:

To limit the probability that stairs will be of inadequate width for users to pass one another without difficulty, which could lead to:

  • restricted egress during an emergency, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
