30 Accessibility Designs That Are Straight Up Offensive

Gets carried on stage, stares at audience, "this".

*person in a wheelchair* "Nah, it's fine. Think I'll take the stairs" 😅

I have ramp access to my house....and at the end of the ramp is a giant step....not as big as above, but still wtf!

Arghhhhh!!!

Well they did put the plant to slow you down ... so ...

Oh, my...

At first I thought, what’s the problem this is a lift. Then I saw the step. 🤦‍♀️

At least there are stoppers!

That person using it is brave

Possibly someone pointing out that there are no spots reserved for people with disabilities.

The caption really says it all...

"Had To Become Handicap Acessible" any building of an authority, and any building with a public function (such as hotels, bathrooms, libraries etc.) should be handicap accessible. Otherwise it prevents handicapped people from participating in a regular life!

This seems incredibly resourceful. Where is this? That model would be $4,500 not covered by insurance in the US.

To be fair, the rail guy flew in to protect people from the ramp guy.

What's with these wheelchair slides? Are people really that stupid? Or just lazy?

"whee"

I hope that's a bicycle ramp...

So close

Why?

This is where code meets regulation.. Code says you have to have a banister.. regulation says you need a ramp.

even on feet it must be hard to climb that ramp

it's hug the tree campaign

It is also a way to increase the wheelchair-bound population, especially if someone is walking along absorbed on the cell phone. Is that an orthopedist next door?

Wanna bet the door hinge is on our left, and it open out ?

we can see 2 cup… so people just pee outside and let their cups outside the bathroom

How to break glass doors: wheelchair edition.

And it's not even the worst one on this list!

UNEFFINGBELIEVABE!!!

So they’re saved from going up one extra stair? Good job, everyone!

This locker is for disabled people because it is the only one that you can sit in front of. I would imagine this is to suit a particular person's needs. The sign is obviously not only for people who are in actual wheel-chairs, it is an immediately recognizable symbol!

they used the "left" blueprint instead of the "right" one

At least you get to test the breaks as you leave.

I can’t help but notice what appears to be a wheelchair on its side just to the right of the steps...

wow, thanks for nothing

Thanks but I am not here for the unisex. I just need to pee.

Ramp-like? Ramp-ish?

My only question is... Why the hell does this even exist?

What? Are they suppose to use a rope?

my friend in a wheelchair would take the escalator ^^ (I know, not everyone can) and he scared the staff a few times doing it

This is the grave for the disabled people who went YOLO and tried some of the ramps shown in the other pictures.

HEY! Can anyone hear me in there? I'm outside....HELLO?!

So close! Still failing to grasp the concept, though.

WHY IS THAT EVEN THERE ?

It is mindblowing to see they take the time to add these ramps yet are unable to see what idiots they are for missing the point.

I could get in there, if that damn door handle wasn't that high! Though the door seems like a heavyweight door, which makes it a little bit more difficult. But still doable (for me). But the heavy door in combination with the step up makes it a little more challenging. That door handle would be the main problem for me. Plus.. not everyone in a wheelchair can use a heavyweight door.. or go up such a step.

To be fair it looks they've realised their existing path is not accessible to everyone and tried to be more inclusive. It wouldn't surprise me if the metal ramp is a temporary measure. (By stating "temporary", I do, of course, mean a council's version of the word temporary, which could be anywhere between 2 months and 20 years.)

No way in, no way out. Now that's a lose-lose.

This is weird. Guessing it's to stop bikes entering the park?

Considering the nightmare these pictures reveal, att least this one is somewhat manageable, with help, of course!

The further down I go, the more I wander... JUST HOW FREAKING DULL ARE THESE ARCHITECTS? Although in defense of this one, if that below it is sand, it might have been half way in it when they made it. Maybe...

I reckon this is for people to ring, so an employee comes out and helps them.

City officials should have to try all of this in a manual wheelchair before it gets signed off on

didn't see the whole Picture.. "well, this one works out actually".. *scrolls down*.. "ohh"..

I think it is pointing to another door further round the building, this is just a fire exit

Grapple and winch again.

Oh come on, it's just ONE step, don't act up. *sarcasm off*

Could be a gate in the wall?

Isn't that the same one from (at the moment) #42?

Exceter??!! It's Exeter! I'm sitting in Exeter right now!

These are for strollers and bicycles primarily

.... it would be relatively simple to add a small ramp to the side that's close to the parking spot... So why didn't they?
