Pedestrian walkway areas that need to be cleanable should not have ___________.

Handrails
Painted surfaces
Lines
Added traction

The correct answer is: Added traction

In environments where pedestrian walkways need to be cleanable, it's essential to avoid features that inhibit cleaning processes. The presence of added traction can be comprised of materials or textures that trap dirt, debris, and contaminants, making them difficult to clean effectively. Such features can create surfaces that are challenging to maintain, thereby increasing the risk of slips and falls or creating areas that harbor germs. In contrast, handrails, painted surfaces, and lines can often be incorporated in ways that do not significantly affect the cleanability of the walkway. Handrails can be maintained with routine cleaning, painted surfaces can be easily cleaned, and lines that demarcate walkways can also be designed with cleanability in mind. Therefore, focusing on smooth, flat, and easily maintained surfaces is crucial for safety and hygiene in pedestrian areas.
