Several Laboratory studies are described: firstly, an evaluation of various curb ramps; secondly, tactile surfaces for environmental cueing for the visually impaired; and thirdly, a compilation of the dimensions of wheelchairs currently available. Modifications aimed at eliminating certain environmental barriers were constructed in five cities and evaluated. These countermeasures include curb ramps, widened sidewalks, refuge islands, crosswalk markings, and a vehicle turn prohibition.
