Q: I just would like to confirm: When you say a four-inch projection is allowed into the corridor is that for one side of the corridor or is that for a total of both sides cannot exceed four inches?
A: I would say that is for each individual side of a corridor. So, each side of the corridor is allowed a four-inch projection. The reason I say that is the limit on a projection into the corridor is to prevent a sight-impaired person from running into an object while egressing. Since most corridors are wider that the largest human, the four-inch restriction is based on individual sides of the corridor.
