Create Safe Transitions Between Surfaces

Transitions between different surfaces (e.g., from paved paths to sand) should be designed to ensure smooth, obstacle-free navigation for visitors, particularly those with mobility challenges

Accessible walkway connecting paved surfaces with sand, with a compact and non-slip floor and a person in a wheelchair.
  • Use accessible materials like boardwalks to cover sandy or uneven terrains.
  • Ensure all transitions are level, with adequate width and clearance for mobility aids.
  • Extend accessible pathways to the shoreline to allow easy access to the beach and water.
