Description
This guidance describes features that need to be considered in the provision of an inclusive environment and issues related to disabling barriers, the use of technology, maintenance and awareness of the needs of disabled people.
It is for use by anyone designing and installing public realm schemes and improvements, including local authorities and their consultants, highways practitioners, and urban designers.
It applies to both new build schemes and upgrades to existing layouts. It is primarily aimed at transport infrastructure and the public highway but much of its advice is relevant to private land accessible to the public. It provides good practice on designing the public realm to be accessible to all and should be followed as a matter of course for all such schemes.
