TRAFFIC SIGNS ARE THE ENEMY OF PEDESTRIANS

THEY BLOCK THE WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE PATHWAY

The road is not closed.

But the public works department that left the sign there effectively blocked two curb ramps in one swipe.

This is NOT the way to welcome people with disabilities or any pedestrians to your city.

The location? A little out of the way, never traversed world famous Main Street known as Duvall Street on the heart of walkable Key West.

Signs like this often linger for months after construction, making a blockade to inclusive access. 

Please share so your city, county and state DOTs learn from this.
