Accessibility: The Entire Street as Pathway

Accessibility: the entire street is a path
A fully accessible pedestrian street. Accessibility is not an extra designated path, but a fundamental condition for the entire street: the entire area is flush with no height differences, the pavement is flat and stable, joint widths are controlled to within six millimeters, and there are no transverse grates or grooves. Tactile paving is laid as a continuous guiding strip along one side of the street, with warning strips at shop entrances and intersections, rather than snaking through the center of the street. Seating is available approximately every fifty meters for rest, including styles with armrests and backrests, with platforms reserved for wheelchair parking nearby. Signage uses large, high-contrast fonts. The scene shows people with various mobility needs using the street simultaneously. Avoid: setting up extra dedicated accessible paths, using rough and uneven decorative paving, making tactile paving snake through the center of the street, making all seating a single form.

一條全面無障礙的徒步街道。無障礙不是一條額外劃出的路徑,而是整條街的基本條件:全區齊平無高差、鋪面平整無晃動、接縫寬度控制在六公釐以內、沒有橫向的格柵與凹槽。導盲磚以連續的引導帶沿街道的一側鋪設,在店家入口與路口處設置提示帶,而不是在街道中央蛇行。每隔約五十公尺有可休息的座椅,其中包含有扶手與靠背的款式,旁邊留有輪椅停放的平台。標示的字體大而對比高。畫面中有多種行動需求的人同時使用。避免:設置額外的無障礙專用路徑、使用粗糙不平的裝飾鋪面、讓導盲磚在街道中央蛇行、把座椅做成單一形式。
