Protruding object

An object extending into a circulation path in a way that may require limits or protection under accessibility criteria.

Why it matters

Visual detectability does not ensure that an object is detectable by someone using a cane. Height, projection, and the surrounding path determine the concern.

In practice

A project example

A wall-mounted display projects into a corridor without a detectable element below it.
