In establishments open to the public, whether a door is located laterally or perpendicularly to the axis of a common circulation, the manoeuvring space required is a rectangle of the same width as the circulation, but the length of the rectangle varies according to whether the door is pushed or pulled.
People with reduced mobility should be able to manoeuvre the doors independently.
There are two possible situations in the corridors:
