accessible entrances
Wheelchair-friendly building openings
Accessible entrances are building entryways designed for people with disabilities—featuring ramps, automatic doors, wide doorways, and level thresholds that accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, and mobility aids.
Buildings often have fewer accessible entrances than standard ones, so signage typically directs people to them: The accessible entrance is on the north side of the building.
