Day 4

After coming to school today, I found that the central stairway of the school was designed to make it easy for people using wheelchairs to go up and down the stairs. The stairs are connected by two slow ramps. Most of the students who come to the second floor of the class choose to use this way to go upstairs.

Until I saw a student using a wheelchair going upstairs on this ramp, I thought this ramp is a good barrier-free design for the disabled. However, I saw that student was pushing the wheelchair, then I realize that it was not a good accessible design. The slope was so steep that the school deliberately hanged a notice prohibiting the wheelchair from using the ramp.
