What does an 'accessible route' require?

• A. A path that is accessible only inside the building.
• B. A continuous, unobstructed path of travel connecting entrances, parking, and all accessible features.
• C. An indirect route with occasional obstacles.
• D. A route that is accessible only at certain times of day.

Answer: (B)

An accessible route must be a continuous, unobstructed path of travel that links entrances, parking areas, and all accessible features. This ensures someone using a wheelchair or other mobility aid can move from the outside (sidewalk or parking) into the building and to every area or element that is designated accessible, without detours, gaps, or barriers. It cannot be limited to interior spaces only, cannot include obstacles or detours, and cannot be usable only at certain times.
