RE: A Warning to Those Working for Accessibility Perhaps.

They often do that wrong but at least in Australia if they have complied
with the appropriate Australian standards you would be able to get
round.

I have just had my local council out to see the lamppost that is right
in the middle of the new footpath, and the incorrect wheelchair ramp and
the 5% cross slope on the footpath.

The secret is apply standards correctly and all win, don't and all lose.

Near where I live there is a street corner that is now impossible to
safely
go around in a wheelchair because there is a wheelchair ramp in the way!
