Tactile paving can be difficult to cross for wheelchair users

Drainage gully provides useful navigational tool to long cane users

Street signage is difficult to see for people with reduced vision

Tonal contrast helps people with sight loss to navigate spaces and avoid collisions

Featureless pedestrian areas can be difficult to navigate for people with sight loss

Level surface popular with wheelchair users and some people with sight loss but is problematic for others

A-boards present issues for many disabled people

Parked cars can block dropped kerbs

Smooth paving makes wheelchair users feel comfortable and safe

Lack of dropped kerbs on Terrace Walk and N Parade is putting wheelchair users in danger

Puddles can form at dropped kerbs

Old Orchard St is an area to avoid with wheelchairs
