How far should an accessible and available restroom be located if not within the building?

100 feet
200 feet
300 feet
400 feet

The correct answer is: 300 feet

An accessible and available restroom, if not located within the building, should be situated no more than 300 feet away. This distance ensures that the restroom is within a reasonable proximity for individuals requiring it, especially those with disabilities or mobility issues. Placing the restroom too far away could create significant barriers for accessibility and may not comply with building codes and regulations aimed at ensuring equal access for all individuals. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Option A (100 feet) is too close for a restroom that is supposed to serve the general public or a larger building, as it may not be practical or possible to have the restroom located that close in many cases. Options B (200 feet) and D (400 feet) are also outside the recommended distance of 300 feet, making them less appropriate choices according to accessibility standards.
