Around the Mobility Hub
Inclusive pathways are vital to creating a welcoming and functional transport hub. They form the backbone of accessible travel, ensuring smooth movement for all, from those with mobility aids to groups. Universal design transforms these pathways into routes that everyone can navigate with ease.
- Maintain a minimum width of 1.8m for pedestrian routes to ensure mobility aids can pass freely.
- Keep pathways clear of obstructions like urban furniture or bike racks for uninterrupted movement.
- Integrate tactile guidance paths for visually impaired users, particularly at crossings and entrances.
- Install level pedestrian crossings with tactile paving and contrasting colors for visibility.
- Equip pathways with bright, even lighting and clear signage for safe navigation at all times.
