What this tracks
This dataset measures the accessibility features and compliance status of sidewalks, ramps, and pedestrian crossings in Nevada, NV, under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Why it matters to you
If you use a wheelchair or walk with mobility aids, this data tells you whether ramps on your route have safe slopes (under 8.3%) and proper landings. Business owners can check if their storefronts meet accessibility standards before renovations, avoiding fines. Parents with strollers can identify smoother routes near schools or parks.
How to read this data
RampSlopeCenter — The steepness of a ramp’s middle section (sample: 6.3% must be ≤8.3% to comply).
LandingWidth — How wide the flat area at the top/bottom of a ramp is (sample: 4 feet; must be ≥4 feet).
ComplianceStatus — Whether the feature meets ADA rules (sample: “Compliant” or non-compliant notes).
DWS_Width — If detectable warning strips cover the full ramp width (sample: “DWS spans full width of ramp”).
Try it yourself
Look up your nearest crosswalk using Nevada’s public ADA map to see if its ramp slopes are safe for wheelchairs (under 8.3%) or need reporting for repairs.
