What this tracks
This dataset records ADA-compliant sidewalk features across Tennessee, including curb ramps, crosswalks, and pedestrian signals.
Why it matters to you
If you use a wheelchair or walk with mobility aids, this data tells you whether a specific intersection has properly sloped ramps (under 8.33%) and detectable warning domes before you plan a route. Business owners can check if their storefront meets accessibility standards by reviewing the RAMP_SLOPE_PCT and TRUNCATED_DOME_PRESENCE values nearby.
How to read this data
FEATURE_DESCRIPTION — Identifies the type of infrastructure, like “Driveway” or “Curb Ramp” (sample value: “Driveway”).
RAMP_SLOPE_PCT — Measures ramp steepness; ADA requires under 8.33% (sample: 7.7%).
TRUNCATED_DOME_PRESENCE — Indicates tactile warning domes for the visually impaired (sample: 2, likely meaning “present”).
LOCATION_DESCRIPTION — Side of the road the feature is on, like “Right” (sample: “Right”).
