Subject: [NewMobilityCafe] Pedestrian overbridges
In my experience, overbridges are hard to make accessible, and tend to cause
significant difficulty to people with walking difficulties, people who use
wheelchairs and parents with pushchairs. As a wheelchair user, I'd rather
wait to cross at grade than be unable to cross at all - although I'd prefer
that the cars all waited for me, of course!
However, if anyone has any brilliant ideas about making overbridges
accessible without giving maintenance nightmares with lifts or taking up
half the surrounding area, please could you let me know, because it's a
serious problem on the railway, where it's not so easy to put light
controlled crossings.......
Many thanks,
Alice
