Protruding objects into a walk access route

[SCBO1]

Check signing shelf protruding 10" into a hall walkway access, appears to meet the requirement 308.3.2 for a wheelchair bound person, but how does it meet the requirement for a blind person with a stick 307.2.

308.3.2 is not only for people who are into binding, but for everyone. I have no professional opinion on that subject.

Typically, the shelves we see proposed do not meet the protruding objects test (4 inches), and therefore we strongly discourage them in hallways. We also strongly recommend they be recessed or have a wall of some sort meet the floor at either end, but are open to other design solutions. If memory serves me correctly, 904.4.3 is the only section that permits a check writing surface, and that is only for Checkout Aisles. We do not consider check-out aisles to be in hallways.

If the first image is less than 27 inches, it complies.

Check writing shelf is at 34" from FF and protrudes 10" into the hallway access. This same access hallway has a 36" vault door that swings into the same access. This door when opened at 90 degrees only allows 24" between the door edge and the hall wall. Which brings me to another question, would this violate 403.5 the clear width of an accessable route?

Door cannot swing that far into the ROW

In the same line of discussion, I believe protruding objects within a toilet room (for example, the paper towel dispenser on the wall adjacent to the lavatory) are allowed because they are not located along a hall or corridor.

In the same line of discussion, I believe protruding objects within a toilet room (for example, the paper towel dispenser on the wall adjacent to the lavatory) are allowed because they are not located along a hall or corridor. This would be based upon the slower speed of an individual's forward moment in a toilet room as opposed to a hallway. BTW, how does an unassisted blind person locate the paper towel dispenser?
