What aspect is crucial for the planning of horizontal exits?

Fireproof construction
Accessibility
Clear visibility
Connection to public transport

The correct answer is: Accessibility

Accessibility is crucial for the planning of horizontal exits because these exits are designed to provide a safe and quick route for occupants to evacuate a building horizontal to their current location, especially when vertical exits may be unsafe due to fire or smoke. Ensuring that horizontal exits can be easily accessed by all individuals, including those with disabilities, is essential for the effectiveness of an evacuation plan. This includes thoughtful placement of exits, appropriate signage, and maintaining clear pathways. While fireproof construction contributes to safety, and clear visibility aids in locating exits during emergencies, the primary focus of horizontal exits is to ensure that everyone can use them efficiently and safely during an evacuation. Connection to public transport is important for overall evacuation logistics, but it is not a direct factor in the planning of horizontal exits within a building itself.
