But, an awful lot of accessibility is done simply to meet the letter of the law.
Yes, there are curb cuts. But, the sidewalk only exists on one side of a 4-lane road. Or worse, the sidewalks jumps back and forth, forcing frequent road crossings.
Or, there are curb cuts and sidewalks, but no crossing signal on a 40mph road (where actually flow is closer to 50mph).
The buildings might be accessible, but you have to get across acres of parking lot and dodge distracted driers pulling in/out of spaces.
Lots of room for improvement.
- baq 6y agoi heard a story from a friend - she wanted to walk to work for a difference (30 minute walk, a small city in california) and mid-way a sheriff pulled up to ask if everything is ok.
- marviio 6y agoI have the almost the same story. My brother-in-law studied in Dallas and walked from his dorm, over a grass plain close to a highway, to his friend. A police car stopped and questioned him. Apparently a suspicious behaviour.
