Please get rid of the steps between the sidewalk and the road.
Last update date June 18, 2020
For wheelchair users and strollers, it is desirable that the steps be as close to "zero" as possible, but for visually impaired people, feel this 2 cm step with the back of white cane or shoes. By doing so, we distinguish between sidewalks and roadways. It also has a function to prevent road drainage from entering the sidewalk. These 2cm step is determined by hearing the opinions of both visually impaired and wheelchair users.
For more information, please refer to the following.
