You don't mention the size of the hall.
Outlet Spacing in a Basement Hallway
Finishing my basement here, and I have an outlet spacing question.
In my basement from the bottom of the stairs I have 180 degree turnaround into a hallway. I understand that outlets need to be no further than 6 feet from a doorway, and no further than 12 feet apart along a straight wall in a normal room, but do the same rules apply to both sides of a hallway?

In the turnaround at the bottom of the stairs, do I need an outlet 6 feet linearly from the left side of the stairs?
Do I need an outlet in the four foot length of wall at the end of the hallway between two doors?
Do I need outlets on both sides of the hallway or only one?
Thanks for the help!
