What are the slope requirements for fire lanes?
1 Answers
According to regulations, the maximum slope of a fire lane should not exceed 8%. Below are specific requirements regarding fire lanes: 1. Requirements for dedicated fire truck access: In accordance with national laws and regulations, newly constructed buildings should reserve dedicated fire lanes to ensure unobstructed evacuation routes, safety exits, and fire truck access. Roads within blocks should consider fire truck passage, with the distance between road centerlines preferably not exceeding 160.0m. When the length of a building along a street exceeds 150.0m or the total length exceeds 220.0m, a fire lane passing through the building should be established. If this proves difficult, a circular fire lane should be constructed. For buildings with enclosed courtyards or atriums, if the short side length exceeds 24.0m, a fire lane entering the courtyard or atrium should be established. 2. Supplementary provisions: When the slope between a site's vehicle lane and a city road is significant, a buffer section should be installed without occupying city road space; in particularly challenging areas with steep terrain, the road gradient should not exceed 11%, with the slope length limited to 100m, and anti-skid measures should be implemented on the road surface.
