VAMOS! Everyone can travel
around town...IF THERE ARE NO
BARRIERS!

Barriers? Let's talk about it!

VISIBILITY AND READABILITY
Reading prices, timetables, is not a language problem...BUT often you can find small fonts, bad colour contrasts and reflections on glass
ACCESSIBILITY
I have to enter the palace...BUT
there's a steep stair!
MOBILITY
Have to take a bus...ok BUT I need to look at the timetables and they are placed too high! 
ORIENTATION
I'm in the middle of the square, ok... BUT
I don't know where I am..
SAFETY
Strolling around town, enjoying the
sun, the atmosphere, the people...ok
BUT there are many hazards: cars
parked on the sidewalks, potholes,
covered traffic lights...it is necessary to walk with caution!


BUT EXIST A BUNCH OF SOLUTIONS FOR ACCESSIBILITY:

VISIBILITY
Bigger, more
readable fonts	Braille
 
ACCESSIBILITY
Elevator 	Disabled lift

MOBILITY
Electric wheelchairs 
Parking places reserved for persons with disabilities

ORIENTATION
LOGES guides 	Tactile maps 
Lodestar multimedia guide

SAFETY
Handrails and anti slip strips
