      13.3 Circulation spaces at doorways on a continuous accessible path of
      travel
      13.3.1 General
      Circulation spaces shall be provided at every doorway, gate, or similar entry way,
      on a continuous accessible path of travel.
      Circulation spaces at doorways shall have a gradient and crossfall not steeper than
      1 in 40.
      Doorway circulation spaces shall be used in combination to allow access through
      doorways in both directions, as shown in Figures 31 and 32.
      The dimensions shall also apply in mirror image configurations. Where clear
      doorway openings are intermediate to those shown in Figures 31 and 32 then the
      required circulation spaces shall be interpolated.
      13.3.2 Swinging doors
      The clear circulation space at doorways with swinging doors is based on the clear
      opening width of the doorway (D). The clear circulation space shall be not less than
      the dimensions specified in the tables of Figure 31 for the appropriate clear opening
      width.
