SIDEWALK WITH DRIVEWAY

HEAVEN AND HELL

The first example has a level, PROWAG-compliant surface — then an angled drive. 

It is heaven.

The one on the bottom is an endless driveway — beveled for an entire lot on a busy corridor.

The hellish one can tumble a wheelchair user into deadly traffic.

The city of Miami has dozens of not hundreds of miles of severely angled sidewalks — even in major pedestrian corridors  

Because we all know its worth having a few people with disabilities killed by tumbling into traffic — than it is for SUVs to have a slightly bumpy ride entering a driveway.
