1.2.3 Design Variances for Pedestrian Facilities

A design variance
is required to be sent to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) whenever the design guidelines specified in the

Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS)

and

Accessibility Guidelines for Pedestrian Facilities in the Public Right-of-way (PROWAG)

are not met. Design variances should be sent to the Design Division – Landscape Architecture Branch for review prior to being submitted to TDLR for approval. See Chapter 19 for additional discussion on pedestrian facilities. This documentation should be kept in the project files.

A Design Variance form and other information can be found on the Design Division’s website (Landscape Architecture Branch) (TxDOT intranet only).
