handicap ramp

Accessibility slope structure

A handicap ramp is a sloped surface allowing wheelchair users and others with mobility limitations to access buildings or navigate changes in elevation.

The term is giving way to *accessibility ramp* or *wheelchair ramp*, as *handicap* increasingly sounds dated or reductive: The building code requires a handicap ramp at every entrance.
