This photo was taken in Japan and encompassed many universal design features. First, the fine grating gaps that would not cause wheelchair users difficulty in moving about. Also the streets are wide and unobstructed. Then there are the inviting low level seating blocks complete with handrails installed – easy for everyone’s use. This is how Singapore should progress towards – an inclusive society!

Familiar place? Good effort by the conscious people who thought it’ll be safer to provide warning strips at the steps. Otherwise people like my cataract-suffering grandma could have tripped without noticing the change in level. Also, the gentle slope is quite friendly for family with prams and wheelchairs.

Cleaners really do know how to maximize usage of space…but seriously, how are mothers with children going to enjoy the benefits of the diaper changing station and children-friendly toilet bowl?

Look at this! Accessible toilet doubling as a storage room by the toilet cleaners! What good is providing an accessible toilet when things like this happen that restrict available maneuvering space for people in wheelchairs? Worse, some accessible toilets are even locked up o_O”

I thought this was a really thoughtful design for water drinking fountains. The “cantilever” fountains look good and are in fact convenient for wheelchair users ‘cos they would not have to strain their backs or necks by craning over the conventional bulky tank design to get a sip of water.
