HAZARDS ALONG ROUTES
|
Barriers placed around posts to protect the public while work is in progress but there is no lower bar for a person using a cane to tap against. |
|
These barriers have the lower bar in position. This helps cane users detect the hazard, even though the bottom bar does not quite reach down to the ground. |
|
|
Positioning of street furniture, such as seating, needs careful consideration so that the seating AND THE PEOPLE SEATED ON IT do not become hazards in a desire line route for people with visual impairments.Consulting with the local associations of blind people can reveal where the desire lines may be. |
|
Abandoned trollies create an unexpected hazard. We can all be guilty of inconsiderate actions through lack of awareness. |
