Posted & filed under LHTAC News, Technical Articles.

FHWA has just published a new resource titled Accessible Shared Streets: Notable Practices and Considerations for Accommodating Pedestrians with Vision Disabilities.

This document captures the national state of the practice for accommodating pedestrians with vision disabilities on shared streets and helps State and local partners meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) obligations. The study process included engagement with the U.S. Access Board, State departments of transportation, National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), and FHWA Division Offices and is a model for engaging people with disabilities in the planning process.
