(New section effective February 1, 2005, 30 TexReg 382; amended effective March 1, 2007, 32 TexReg 884; amended effective March 15, 2012, 37 TexReg 677) (a) For purposes of§68.80,the estimated cost of construction for the project shall be based on the pedestrian elements only. Construction documents submitted for review are only required to include pedestrian elements being constructed,renovated, modified, or altered as part of the project scope. (b)Application of TAS shall be limited to those pedestrian elements being constructed, renovated, modified, or altered as part of the project scope. The pedestrian elements shall comply with applicable sections of TAS except as modified by this section. (1) Sidewalks--At sidewalks constructed within the public right-of-way, handrails are not required; however, if provided they must comply with TAS 405.8. Where the adjacent roadway has running slopes of 5%or greater,the pedestrian access route shall not exceed the grade established for the adjacent roadway. EXCEPTION: The running slope of a pedestrian access route is permitted to be steeper than the grade of the adjacent roadway provided that the pedestrian access route complies with TAS 405. (2) Curb Ramps--At curb ramps constructed within the.,,,hr,. rig' + of handrails are not required; however, if provided they must comply with TAS 405.8. For purposes of this section, non-signalized driveways are not considered to be hazardous vehicular areas. (A) At perpendicular curb ramps constructed within the public right of way, detectable warnings complying with TAS 705 at a minimum of 24" in depth(in the direction of pedestrian travel)and extending the full width of the curb ramp shall be provided where the pedestrian access route enters a crosswalk or other hazardous vehicular area. (B) At parallel curb ramps constructed within the public right-of-way, detectable warnings complying with TAS 705 at a minimum of 24"in depth(in the direction of pedestrian travel) and extending the full width of the landing shall be provided where the pedestrian access route enters a crosswalk or other hazardous vehicular area. (C) At diagonal curb ramps constructed within the public right-of-way, detectable warnings complying with TAS 705 at a minimum of 24" in depth(in the direction of pedestrian travel)and extending the full width of the curb ramp or landing, shall be provided where the pedestrian access route enters a crosswalk or other hazardous vehicular area. Additionally,the department will allow the detectable warning to be curved with the radius of the corner. The detectable warning shall be located so that the edge nearest the curb line is 6"minimum and 10"maximum from the curb line. 1994 Texas Accessibility Standards Technical Memorandum Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Architectural Barriers Date: August 16, 2011 TM 08-01 Revised Curb Ramps—Surface Texture/Contrast Administrative Rule 68.102(b)(2) and TAS 4.7.4 The ONLY surface texture TDLR is currently aware of that meets the intent of both the Texas Accessibility Standards and the currently enforceable federal Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines are detectable warnings (aka truncated domes) meeting the technical specifications of TAS 4.29.2. With the intention of harmonizing both state and federal requirements, the Department issues the following technical clarifications regarding surface texture requirements for curb ramps. Curb Ramps in the Public Right-of-Way All curb ramps constructed, renovated, modified, or altered within the public right-of-way must comply with Architectural Barriers Administrative Rule 68.102(b)(2). Curb Ramps NOT in the Public Right-of-Way All curb ramps that are constructed, renovated, modified, or altered, but are NOT within the public right-of-way must comply with TAS 4.7. The surface texture and contrast must extend the full width and depth of the curb ramp based on TAS 4.7.4. Parallel curb ramps shall be allowed to have the surface texture and contrast on the two ramped surfaces unless the landing connects to a public street or public right-of-way. The Department strongly encourages the use of detectable warnings complying with TAS 4.29.2 as the surface texture and contrast in lieu of the surface textures listed under TAS 4.7.4(1). as a means to satisfy both the state and federal requirements. This technical memorandum supersedes TM 99-15 issued in July 1999 which is no longer effective. TM 99-02 remains in effect for curb ramps that are NOT in the public right-of- way. Ramp Parallel Curb Ramps Note: If the landing of the parallel curb ramp connects to a public street or public right-of-way,detectable warnings must be provided on the landing. See Rule 68.102(b)(2)(B).
