Today some innovative ideas of my city Frankfurt/Main!!!
Gully cover
in road construction usually are built kindly with “slots” in travel direction. In this case so that the wheeler can drive into the slots with his front tyres and doesn’t roll away when he is waiting for the lift. Unfortunately it was forgotten to illuminate the “waiting gully”, but this will certainly be realized in the next few days.
We wheelers are happy about every piece of cobble stone. It is better for us than some medication. The jolting supports the digestion at its best.
Thus especially commendable is this
“New Disabled Parking Place”
It was designed according to the latest findings from the handicap area. Please note the joints between the stones which probably were not closed on purpose so that the wheelchair doesn’t roll away when getting out of the car. After getting out you keep “standing” safely next to the car. The different heights of the stones facilitate the car-floor-transfer, because the wheelchair is standing ergonomically on 3 wheels. Especially commendable is that the curbs are on grade neither to the street nor to the pavement, so that curb jumping can be practiced.
The width of the joints exactly match the size of the wheelchair tyres, somebody really took great efforts.
Thank you road traffic department Frankfurt, I am proud of you!!!
