In an effort to promote space efficiency, vanity counter top space in accessible residential dwelling units is often omitted. This omission does not promote equal access or equal enjoyment of the unit. Where comparable units have vanity counter tops, accessible units should also have vanity counter tops located as close as possible to the lavatory for convenient access to toiletries.
Construction & Price
Token collection devices that are designed to accommodate tokens which are perforated can allow a person to distinguish more readily between tokens and common coins. Place accessible gates and fare vending machines in close proximity to other accessible elements when feasible so the facility is easier to use. Size and Spacing of Truncated Domes705.2 Platform Edges.

The type of surface material selected and play area use levels will determine the frequency of inspection and maintenance activities.
Parking facilities that provide valet parking services shall provide at least one passenger loading zone complying with 503. The terms “designated public transportation” and “specified public transportation” are defined by the Department of Transportation at 49 CFR 37.3 in regulations implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Newly constructed or altered street level pedestrian walkways must contain curb ramps or other sloped areas at intersections to streets, roads, or highways. The obligation to provide an accessible path of travel may not be evaded by performing a series of small alterations to the area served by a single path of travel if those alterations could have been performed as a single undertaking. For the purposes of this section, the term “path of travel” also includes the restrooms, telephones, and drinking fountains serving the altered area. Full compliance with the requirements of this section is not required where a public entity can demonstrate that it is structurally impracticable to meet the requirements.
