About proposal system such as making basic barrier-free concept

Last Updated June 17, 2021

Proposal system makes draft of barrier-free basic design based on "law about promotion of smoothness such as movement of elderly person, person with a disability [commonly known as barrier-free law]" and submits to Yokohama-shi By doing so, it is a system that can propose new creation of basic design and change of existing basic design.

About barrier-free basic concept

Based on the Barrier-Free Law, municipalities are responsible for public transportation, buildings, roads, off-street parking lots, city parks, traffic lights, etc., in areas centered on passenger facilities and areas where facilities used by the elderly and disabled are gathered (priority maintenance districts). In order to promote barrier-free parking lots, city parks, traffic lights, etc., we can formulate a basic barrier-free basic concept with the following items.

  • Scope of priority maintenance area
  • Facilities (life-related facilities) used by many elderly and disabled persons
  • Major routes connecting lifestyle-related facilities (life-related routes)
  • Projects to be implemented for barrier-free services (specific projects, etc.)
