Are Ramps Available to Use Where You Live?
We may not be getting out and about much during these challenging times, but if you do and use a rollator, scooter or power chair; does your community have ramps?
It’s interesting that the ancient Greeks may have had disabled access to their temples! My guess is plenty of their surviving warriors may have lost the ability to walk and not that these were enlightened societies.
In the US, it’s mandated that public facilities have accessible entrances including ramps. Many private businesses however don’t comply. I understand that in the UK, many shops and pubs don’t offer ramps for their patrons.
What have your experiences been like? Are handicap accessible ramps common in the country where you live?
