Transcription: a photo of a shared pathway entrance with a series of steel pipes placed to create very narrow pathways to enter. The width is hard to tell from the angle of the photo, but far too narrow for a wheelchair or bicycle to fit.
I cant figure out what they intend this to do.
Supposedly it’s to keep motorbikes out.
But when your design also forces bikes to be lifted up, cuts out wheelchairs and even fat people…it’s astonishing to me that any government department could think this was OK.
Motorbikes will 100% go round via that patch of dirt next to it.
I reckon (could be way wrong) that you could get a bicycle through by turning the handlebars 90 degrees in either direction so they slip through the thin bit and the bit at the bottom is wider so the wheel could go through as long as you lift it and roll the bike on its back wheel. Thats still really rubbish if that’s the design tho.edit: nevermind, I was looking at it wrong. I don’t think that works.I doubt a wheelchair is getting through there anyway anyhow.
If it’s tp keep motorbikes out then it has failed anyway because it stops at the edge of the path, and leaves plenty of room to drive a motorbike around.
I have got though these at reasonable speed on my mountain bike (when I was younger), with a very little bit of practice, riding through these is not hard.
No idea about wheel chairs though.
I guess fuck prams right
Once you’ve had a bit of experience pushing prams something like this isn’t an issue. They are pretty common around the place. They are needed because there are idiot motor bike riders that drive at speed on the walking/cycling tracks.
How does a wheelchair or mobility scooter get through there?
That’s a very good question. How do they normally get through the two hooped bar type ones?
These ones? You just weave through them.
