3.7D Pedestrian crossings
Curb Ramps
Introduction
Curb ramps are the transitions between the sidewalks and street crossings. ADA-compliant pedestrian curb ramps must be provided at all legal intersections where sidewalk connections exist to provide access for people using mobility devices.
Design Considerations
|
Detailed guidance |
Designers should use ADA Curb Ramp Design, Construction, and Repair Technical Memorandum, MnDOT’s current curb ramp guidelines, curb ramp standard plans, and other design guidance and standards for constructing curb ramps. |
|
Desirability of ramp types |
Figure 3.7D.2 describes several pedestrian curb ramp designs and indicates in general when each design might be used. This table does not encompass all of the options for pedestrian curb ramps, but instead outlines the pros and cons of the most common designs. |

Additional Guidance |
When there is an adjacent sidewalk-level protected bike lane, see also protected intersections guidance. |
