The excellent news about accessibility, practical access into buildings and ease of negotiating, orientating and travelling independently can get lost in the frustration of ’Non-Conformance’ and ‘Non-Compliance’ banter. I know that I have been guilty of this.
So I’ve made this video about how you can reduce the use of Warning TGSIs on Ramp & Stairway landings by using continuous, unbroken handrails on both sides. Suppose you can avoid using intermediate landings for doorway entries or as additional access points. Designing like this is a practical, cost-saving, efficient way to provide barrier-free orientation and mobility.
We can make things better if we ask more questions, seek practical solutions and aim to do work that matters for persons with a disability. What do you think? Did you know that you could reduce the use of TGSIs?
