Hello my readers!
Seeing a crosswalk, it usually follows suit that a ramp should be there as well, am I right?
Well, I found a crosswalk without a ramp.
Being partially sighted, I have zero depth perception, zero colour contrast acumen, I motored off the curb that was right in front of the crosswalk, only to drop 28 cm!
My informed me the ramp was on the right hand side of the crosswalk. There was NO markings on the ramp, no yellow strip, no tactile warning, nothing!
Because of my vision issues, I didn’t see the ramp, instead driving off curb, onto the zebra!
Had I seen the ramp, if it was painted, then I would have driven safely off.
This happened at a Skytrain station in Surrey, BC.
Everything is fine! I am good and so is the chair!
Thank you for reading!
