Egress door swing

Question

Is it the intention of code section R311.2 that egress doors may only be allowed to swing in the direction of egress travel?

No

Commentary

R311.1 does not require egress doors to swing in the direction of travel. Florida Building Code - Building volume section 1008.1.2 should not be used for Buildings which fall under R101.2
