#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1
@dongho_chang Thanks for posting this, Dongho. I've been looking for a photo of a built example with grates on the ramp up/down. Will take tons of detailed photos when in Philly for ITE!
@petesfinetweets Unfortunately not. The tactile graphic is something we had made as part of public engagement for people with vision disabilities, but PROWAG doesn't provide any guidance on this topic.
@petesfinetweets This would be supplemental to the requirements of PROWAG and also not prohibited. PROWAG has requirements for the location of push buttons, and the MINIMUM information that they convey (locator tone, vibrotactile info, audible message, and tactile arrow in direction of crossing).
I was happy to attend the Texas Pedestrian Safety Forum to speak about pedestrian accessibility with @gmcazares... Texas needs a lot of assistance on this topic.
Shown is a non compliant sidewalk located between lanes of traffic with 2.5' of clearance on each side of the sign.
We've gotta do a better job training practitioners (and contractors) about the tactile map that people with vision disabilities navigate. Nice grading at this floating bus stop, but ADA fail.
@SenFettermanPA Thank you for introducing a bill that will make it easier for engineers & public officials to fulfill their ethical obligation... To protect the safety, health, and welfare of the public!
Glad this 3d rendering from @tooledesign is getting some more good exposure. Although these types of engagement efforts are more expensive than a plan rendering, it's worth it because the public can better understand the design and provide helpful feedback.
Part of Toronto will soon be transformed into a 'Dutch-style' intersection.
Safety is improved by moderating turn speeds, increasing separation between modes, and enhancing visibility of vulnerable road users.
