About Wheelchair-accessibility

[akshaya_bhat]

How we determine the place having wheelchair accessible, some place are flat in that both normal as well as wheelchair persons can park right?

Is there any seperate indication?

In some places, there are reserved parking lots for people with physical disabilities. Additionally, other places have wheelchairs at the entrances that can be used by the guests. I hope this works

In some Indian cities we can't find that parking lot

Have you seen such a sign in your parking garages. I have never been to India before but in my country, Kenya, some places have these signs and some hotels have the wheelchairs. However, I believe the developed countries have them Parking Garage with a wheelchair sign

@akshaya_bhatIts really confusing that Google asking for a specific standard for wheel chair access or not ?

There are too many places where wheel char accessible entrance exist but not intentionally designed for them. As well the same happen for parking lot. Do not contain any special signboard for wheelchair accessibility.

Waiting to hear from Google.

Thanks in advance

This post is a year old but still a relevant question. I found this guide to posting accessibility reviews which may be helpful.

Photographs also help to tell the accessibility story. Here is a guide I found on how to take them.

Also, I would like to work with with people internationaly who collect and share accessibility tips. Together we make the world more accessible for everyone. Do you have a link to an accessibility solution/guide that you can share?

Hey @BytownBelle,

You can take a look at Worldwide - Meet-up to help others get around in October topic. Local Guides are trying to map places accessible for or you can organize an accessibility meet-up yourself on Connect.

Once your meet-up is approved, it will automatically appear as a post in the Meet-ups topic section for Local Guides to participate. To learn more, check this How to Organize a Local Guides Meet-Up topic.
