Paving can be so smooth it becomes slippery when it is wet

Pedestrian with sight loss tripped at up-stand around tree at corner of James St and Milk St

Disabled people believe they can park at the end of Bath St but there are no dropped kerbs

Busses frequently block the crossing at the exit of the bus station putting pedestrians in danger

Despite near side pedestrian signals being easier to see, some disabled people prefer far side ones

Many disabled people take steps to avoid crowds in the city centre

Cyclists on pavements and other unexpected places make people with sight loss uncomfortable

Complex signalised crossings present difficulties for people with learning difficulties and visual impairments

If you don’t know where the dropped kerbs are moving around Bath can be difficult

Footway width, quality and height on Grove St mean wheelchair users need to use the road

Cobbles and lack of dropped kerbs make it difficult for scooter users at Bath St/Store St corner

Why are there cobbles on Union Street?
