Which of the following is not a requirement for an accessible route in a commercial building?

  1. Ramp with handrails

  2. Level landings at changes of direction

  3. Minimum width of 1.5 meters

  4. Non-slip surface

The correct answer is: Minimum width of 1.5 meters

An accessible route in a commercial building must have a ramp with handrails, level landings at changes of direction, and a non-slip surface. Option C, a minimum width of 1.5 meters, is not a requirement for an accessible route in a commercial building. This requirement may vary depending on the specific building codes and standards, but it is not a universal requirement. Other factors, such as the size and layout of the building, may determine the necessary width for an accessible route. Therefore, option C is not a guaranteed requirement for an accessible route in a commercial building.
