Ramps provide no-step transition between 2 levels
• “Rise = vertical distance to overcome
• “Run” = horizontal distance over which the rise occurs
• Ratio of Rise / Run = “Slope” referred to as 1:12, 1 in 12, 1 inch per foot
• Building Code term “Ramp” means any pathway greater than 1:20 slope, and which may not exceed 1:12.
