Road Access for Disabled Americans

United States Access Board

The U.S.Access Board is developing compliance standards for the Americans with Disability Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG,) Section 14, "Public Rights-of-Way." It is very important for every disabled person who is impeded by any type of "traffic calming" device to explain the problem(s) to the Access Board and to inform the Board of the need for accessible "vehicular rights-of-way."
