An alternative accessible route should be available when necessary. Pedestrian and vehicle routes must be clearly separated to ensure safety. If your venue has multiple buildings, there should be an accessible way to move between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-ace-heading\"><strong>Pathway qualities<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pathways need to be wide enough for two people to pass easily. Where this isn\u2019t possible, provide passing places at least every 25m, or in view of each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the surface changes, the friction should be&nbsp;similar to&nbsp;prevent sudden grip differences. Access from the <span title=\"Site boundary\" data-definition-name=\"Site boundary\" data-definition=\"site-boundary\" data-definition-id=\"4691\" class=\"ace-definition-inserter\"><\/span> to the main entrance must be&nbsp;<span title=\"Level access\" data-definition-name=\"Level access\" data-definition=\"level-access\" data-definition-id=\"4203\" class=\"ace-definition-inserter\"><\/span>.

They must be clear of obstructions, like overhanging branches. Manage any fixed obstacles by adding a <span data-definition=\"tapping-rail\" data-definition-id=\"4713\" title=\"Tapping rail\" data-definition-name=\"Tapping rail\" class=\"ace-definition-inserter\"><\/span>. Use tactile paving where needed. Weather protection at entry points can enhance safety and comfort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-ace-heading\"><strong>Live-events specific&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional&nbsp;factors apply to live event venues. Queuing is often needed, so weather protection should cover queueing areas when possible. Stage doors and artist access routes must meet the same accessibility standards as public entrances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Security measures, like turnstiles and crowd-control barriers, should follow&nbsp;<span title=\"Approved Document M ADM\" data-definition-name=\"Approved Document M ADM\" data-definition=\"approved-document-m-adm\" data-definition-id=\"3602\" class=\"ace-definition-inserter\"><\/span> standards. This ensures&nbsp;features like&nbsp;passable width and suitable colour contrast&nbsp;are considered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Snaking queues, formed by linked barriers, can create access barriers. Their tight turns may not accommodate wheelchair users. These queues can also create sensory challenges, as they limit escape routes for those who need to exit quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provide details of queue systems in advance to help patrons plan and reduce anxiety before the enter the queue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See <a href=\"https:\/\/allin.online\/standard\/built-environment\/entry-and-exit-routes\/ticketing-and-reception\/\" data-type=\"standard\" data-id=\"4546\">Built Environment 2.03 Ticketing and Reception<\/a> for more on queueing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"specification_table\" class=\"wp-block-ace-specification-table bg_white specification_table hide\"><h3>Standard &#8211; specifications<\/h3><div class=\"bg_grey inner-padding\"><table class=\"specification-table\"><tbody><\/tbody><\/table><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"influencing_accessible_practice\" class=\"wp-block-ace-standard-influencing-accessible-practice standard-influencing-accessible-practice standard-content hide\"><h3>Influencing accessible practice<\/h3>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Influencing accessible practice means going beyond the basics and leading the way in accessibility.
