What this tracks
This dataset records measurements and compliance details of ADA-accessible ramps at intersections across Nevada, including slope angles, landing dimensions, and inspection status.
Why it matters to you
If you use a wheelchair or walk with mobility aids, this data tells you whether ramps on your commute meet accessibility standards. A business owner can check if their storefront’s nearby ramps are Compliant before planning renovations, avoiding costly retrofits later. Residents can identify non-compliant ramps (like those with steep RampSlopeCenter values) to report to Nevada’s transportation department for prioritization.
How to read this data
RampSlopeCenter — The steepness of the ramp’s middle section (e.g., 6.3% means it rises 6.3 inches per 100 inches horizontally). Lower values are safer.
ComplianceStatus — Whether the ramp meets ADA standards (e.g., “Compliant” or needs repair).
LandingWidth — Flat space at the ramp’s top/bottom (e.g., 4.3 feet). Wider landings are easier to navigate.
DWS_Width — Tactile warning strip coverage (e.g., “DWS spans full width of ramp” means better visibility for visually impaired pedestrians).
Try it yourself
Look up your nearest intersection in Nevada’s ADA ramp map to see if its ramps are marked “Compliant” or need upgrades.
