Ten categories of handicapped pedestrians are identified. Four of these categories report 71% of vehicular and non-vehicular accidents involving the target group; and 82% of the accidents occurred on walks/corridors, at street crossings, at curbs and curb ramps, and on stairs. A survey was conducted in 5 cities to determine the problems experienced by elderly and handicapped pedestrians. A typology of barriers and problems has been generated. A review of Federal, State and Local legislation treating accessibility is set out.
