Fantastic video¡ wow! Awesome, thanks, Chris, but I¡¯m still looking for guidance on this situation (see actual pics of stand below). The pictures show a large (maybe 55-60¡± monitor on a rolling stand. The
stand is black with 2 v-shaped legs extending from the front and 2 shorter ones out the back.
Appreciate you all!
Kevin

Kevin, what an interesting question! ?I¡¯m copying this to the Environmental Access Committee of AERs O&M Division.
Did you find anything in the regs about things projecting into the public right of way (or where you¡¯d expect people to walk)? ?I¡¯d think this fits
into that unless it¡¯s tucked away somewhere that people are not expected to walk.
Meanwhile, we kind of have a responsibility for creating a safe environment that goes beyond regulations, and your idea of putting something on the ground detectable by cane sounds like the perfect
solution! ?Unless you¡¯re looking for regulations to convince administrators to make it safe?

I need help with a potential ADA question.?
The picture below depicts a rolling stand that mounts a TV that is used in a classroom (for projection ¨C not an interactive whiteboard).
The front 2 legs stick out in a ¡®V-shaped¡¯ design significantly further than the ¡®base¡¯ of the stand which then has 2 smaller, ¡®v-shaped¡¯ legs sticking out the back from the base.
There is no ¡®barrier¡¯ on the right and left sides so a person/student could walk into the side of the tv frame.?
Does the ADA regulate this type of mounting system? I¡¯ve been through the access board website and cannot find a definitive answer.
One could easily ¡®candy cane¡¯ the legs with high contrast tape to bring visual attention in case of low contrast or possibly position the stand/tv between bookshelves or other ¡®barriers¡¯
to reduce the faceplant into the sides of the monitor. Or, consider installing pool noodles or pipe insulation around the frame of the tv, too¡. But, ultimately, does the design of this stand create a situation of ADA noncompliance? The image below is similar
to the actual one I¡¯m referring to.
