Steep dropped kerbs and a short crossing phase makes crossing over to Shopmobility difficult

Issue
Many disabled people need to park and then cross Manvers Street to access Shopmobility. The crossing has very steep dropped kerbs combined with a pedestrian phase which participants felt was too short.

Opportunity
A traffic table could be constructed bringing the carriageway temporarily level with the footway so that pedestrians would not need to drop down to carriageway level and back up. In this situation any carriageway/footway boundary should be demarcated with 800mm depth of tactile paving.
