Re: City sidewalk to front walkway transition
The two main differences between the old Standard Building Code requirements and those of today are: 1) there did not used to be a minimum riser height, as there is today; 2) the addition of the indicator stripe at the nosing.
What I did not show in the old SBC section was the rest of the section above it, which includes the maximum riser height of 7-3/4". The wording I posted was an exception to the uniformity section: all risers must be within 3/8" of each other and all treads must be within 3/8" of each other. The uniformity of that riser does not need to meet the 3/8" requirement (it can't - because of the sloping walkway).
