  1 is to 20
- B.
  
  1 is to 6
- C.
  
  1 is to 12
- D.
  
  1 is to 100
Correct Answer
C. 1 is to 12

Explanation
Curb cut-outs should have a gradient not more than 1 is to 12. This means that for every 12 units of horizontal distance, the curb cut-out should have a maximum vertical rise of 1 unit. This ensures that the slope of the curb cut-out is not too steep, making it easier and safer for pedestrians, particularly those with mobility issues, to navigate. A gradient of 1 is to 12 provides a gradual incline, allowing for smooth and accessible passage.

Walkways should be kept as level as possible and provided with slip-resistant material. Whenever and wherever possible, walkways should have a gradient no more than?
- A.
  
  3%
- B.
  
  4%
- C.
  
  5%
- D.
  
  2%
Correct Answer
C. 5%

Explanation
Walkways should be kept as level as possible and provided with slip-resistant material. A gradient refers to the slope or incline of the walkway. The lower the gradient, the less steep the walkway is. In order to ensure safety and prevent accidents, it is recommended to have a maximum gradient of 5% on walkways. This means that the slope should not exceed a 5% incline, keeping the walkway relatively level and easier to navigate without the risk of slipping or tripping.

How much is the minimum width of a walkway?
- A.
  
  1.20 m
- B.
  
  1.00 m
- C.
  
  1.50 m
- D.
  
  1.80 m
Correct Answer
A. 1.20 m

Explanation
The minimum width of a walkway is 1.20 m. This width allows for comfortable passage of individuals and ensures that there is enough space for people to walk side by side without feeling crowded. A narrower width could lead to congestion and make it difficult for people to pass each other, while a wider width may not be necessary and could result in wasted space. Therefore, 1.20 m is considered the minimum width for a walkway.

If possible, gratings should never be located along walkways. When occurring along walkways, grating openings should have a maximum dimension of 13 mm times 13 mm and shall not project above the level of the walkway of more than?
- A.
  
  3 mm
- B.
  
  6.5 mm
- C.
  
  6 mm
- D.
  
  2.5 mm
Correct Answer
B. 6.5 mm

Explanation
Gratings should not be located along walkways because they pose a potential hazard for pedestrians. If they are present along walkways, the grating openings should be small enough to prevent any accidents or injuries. The maximum dimension for the grating openings should be 13 mm times 13 mm. Additionally, the grating should not project above the level of the walkway by more than 6.5 mm. This ensures that the grating remains flush with the walkway and does not create a tripping hazard.

Walkways should have a continuing surface without abrupt pitches in angle or interruptions by cracks or breaks creating edges above?
- A.
  
  3 mm
- B.
  
  6.5 mm
- C.
  
  6 mm
- D.
  
  2.5 mm
Correct Answer
B. 6.5 mm

Explanation
The correct answer is 6.5 mm. This is because walkways should have a continuing surface without abrupt pitches in angle or interruptions by cracks or breaks creating edges above. A pitch in angle or interruptions by cracks or breaks can create tripping hazards and make it difficult for people to walk smoothly. A surface with a height difference of 6.5 mm would be more likely to create a tripping hazard compared to the other options.

- B.
  
  25 meters
- C.
  
  30 meters
- D.
  
  35 meters
Correct Answer
C. 30 meters

Explanation
According to accessibility guidelines, passing spaces in walkways should be provided at intervals not exceeding 30 meters. This ensures that wheelchair users have sufficient room to maneuver, pass others, or turn around without difficulty. These spaces should have a minimum dimension of 1.5 meters to allow for comfortable movement.

  45 degree angle
- B.
  
  Right angle
- C.
  
  Perfect rounded curve
- D.
  
  Chamfered corner with metal gratings
Correct Answer
B. Right angle

Explanation
To guide the blind effectively, walkways should follow right angles as much as possible. Right angles provide clear and distinct paths, making it easier for visually impaired individuals to navigate and maintain a straight line of travel. This minimizes confusion and potential hazards, ensuring a safer and more accessible environment for the blind.

- B.
  
  2.10 m
- C.
  
  2.00 m
- D.
  
  2.70 m
Correct Answer
C. 2.00 m

Explanation
The correct answer is 2.00 m. The question is asking for the minimum headroom height for a walkway. A higher headroom is preferred to ensure that people can comfortably walk without hitting their heads on the ceiling. The answer of 2.00 m indicates that the headroom should not be less than this height.
