目的。以确定城市地区的路缘坡道在多大程度上符合一套轮椅无障碍指南。对于市区79个交叉口的每个交叉口，我们根据现有的指导方针收集了关于八个可达性特征的数据。根据符合标准的数量，计算每个交叉口的总分(0-8)。在评估的79个交叉口中，98.7%有路边坡道。在路边坡道中，53.8%提供了从人行道到人行横道的直接路线，93.6%是宽度=915毫米，43.6%有坡道坡度
Purpose. To determine the extent to which curb ramps in an urban area met a set of wheelchair accessibility guidelines.Method. For each of 79 intersections in an urban area, we collected data about eight accessibility characteristics, based on existing guidelines. A total score (0-8) was calculated for each intersection, based on the number of criteria met.Results. Of the 79 intersections assessed, 98.7% had curb ramps. Of the curb ramps, 53.8% provided direct lines of travel from the sidewalks to the crosswalks, 93.6% were >= 915 mm in width, 43.6% had ramp slopes
