Default Stair rail - which side?

Handicap compliance to the ADA:
"Hand railing must be securely anchored, have a smooth surface and easy
to grasp, 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches in diameter
Mounted between 34 and 38 inches high.
Handrails projecting from a wall must have a space of 1-1/2 inches
between the wall and the handrail.
The railing ends rounded off, returned to the wall or terminate at the
posts."
