Wheelchair Accessibility in your Country

Hey wickededge,I live in the UK and in general accessibility is reasonable good. The law dictates that public buildings must provide wheelchair access

Some smaller shops tend to not acknowledge the law and have poor access for wheelchairs but then they dont get the custom.

Our land is relatively flat in residential areas so wheeling about isnt too much of a problem. Sometimes flags are uneven which can be annoying but isnt too bad.

I know if i want to go out to a restaurant,a bar, the cinema or general places of interest..etc then i would have no problem with access.

How is the access in your country wickededge?

Australia sounds very similar to the UK, its mainly good but of course there are a few issues, as Lαrα said, smaller shops that kind of thing 

Thats pretty bad wickededge...i do hope that things improve there..sounds like there needs to be some legislation brought in to ensure that happens

Hey wickededge, I'm from Canada (Toronto) and I think the accessibility is pretty good as well. Some small shops right in downtown Toronto aren't always wheelchair accessible since the buildings are 100+ years old but for the most part, the accessibility is pretty good.

It's a law that all new buildings are made with wheelchair access so that's a good thing

The transportation system for people with disabilities is ok but the timing is very bad, similar to how it is where you live.

The accessibility here is good for the most part. The shops downtown aren't always accessible but if I really want to go in, I can usually have an employee help me in. My favorite bar's bathroom is NOT accessible whatsoever. I have to get up out of my wheelchair and "walk" to the stall because my chair won't fit in the door. I will have to contact the owner one more time otherwise I may have to stop going there because my legs go numb and I don't want to fall and break something.

Knight, when i was in rehab many of the guys would use overnight bags on a 'night out'..how convenient lol
