| Abstract: |
People with disabilities often have limited transportation options, many are non-drivers and are more likely to be pedestrians and transit users. While disabled people depend on accessible sidewalks, crosswalks and transit-stops, often the pedestrian environment contains many hazards and barriers to the disabled person's mobility. This four-part video follows pedestrians with various disabilities, illustrating the hazards and barriers faced along the way, then recommends engineering and maintenance solutions to resolve them. Each of the four parts of this video are listed separately with their descriptions: see videos VH-566A Design Issues for Pedestrians Who use Wheelchairs, VH-566B Design Issues for Pedestrians with Ambulatory Impairments, VH-566C Design Issues for Pedestrians with Low Vision, and VH-566D Design Issues for Pedestrians Who Are Blind. In addition to producing this video, the US Access Board also offers free technical assistance; contact information is in the video. |
| Notes: |
This video is a must-see for public works directors, transportation engineers and planners, street and sidewalk maintenance crews and anyone with responsibility for constructing or maintaining sidewalks, crosswalks or transit-stops. |
