Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

According to NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, the maximum travel distance to a single means of egress from a mercantile occupancy (such as a shoe store) that is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system is 75 feet (23 meters). This requirement is intended to ensure that occupants can evacuate the building safely in the event of an emergency. The distance is measured along the natural path of travel from any point in the store to the nearest exit.

It's actually 100 ft (30 m) if no sprinklers.

I thought it was 25 ft for non-sprinklered spaces, but I need to double-check my notes on that.

I’m leaning towards 100 ft because I recall that smaller stores have more lenient requirements, but I could be mixing it up with other types of buildings.

I remember something about egress distances from practice questions, and I feel like it might be 75 ft for a shoe store.

I think the maximum travel distance for a non-sprinklered store is 50 ft, but I’m not completely sure.
