Final rule on accessibility guidelines for pedestrian facilities in the public right-of-way

The Access Board has published new guidelines under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA).

They cover:

• Access to sidewalks and streets
• Crosswalks
• Curb ramps
• Pedestrian signals
• On-street parking
• Other parts of public rights-of-way

These guidelines also review shared-use paths, which are designed mainly for use by bicyclists and pedestrians for transportation and recreation purposes.
