underground, subway, bus and tram stations and
other public places. Marked with little bumps and
ridges, these tiles would be installed in any place
that claims to be accessible for the persons with

SINGAGE

It's easy to forget just how ubiquitous

signs are in our everyday life – and yet,
sometimes we don't notice them we
truly need them! In general, they serve
several common purposes: to promote,
identify, provide information, give
directions or to raise safety awareness

It also enables people with visual and

hearing impairments and people with
learning difficulties to use the
environment as independently as
possible.
wheelchair access

Ramps are provided at the road level

of metro stations to facilitate
wheelchair movement up to the lifts

a method by which someone can enter

or leave a place in a wheelchair: The
Disability Discrimination Act requires
businesses to provide ramps for
wheelchair access.
