Route and sidewalk - Basic rules of accessible design and construction for PWD.

1 Scope of application

2 1.1 This standard is applied for new construction or reconstruction of

route and sidewalk for ensuring the accessibility and use by mobility handicapped and blind persons

Note : Mobility handicapped and blind persons are hereinafter called PWD

for short.

1.2 Various types of routes ensuring the accessibility and use by PWD

comprise pedestrian ways, promenade ways in parks, ways into tourism area, squares, paths up and down sidewalks in transport nodes, ways into building and ways for pedestrians on routes for mechanised vehicle, routes reserved to vehicles without motor, scaffold bridges, tunnels

Note:1) While applying regulations of this standard, it is mandatory to

comply with regulations of construction codes for ensuring accessibility and use by PWD.

2) The construction related to route and sidewalk ensuring accessibility and use by PWD must be integrated into planning design, design of works, and at the same time constitute a content /subject to be appraised, approved and handed over.

3) The networks of route and sidewalk constructed for ensuring accessibility and use by PWD must be taken into account in the elaboration of the general estimates for investment

Terminology used in this standard are drawn from regulations in Building Code for construction ensuring accessibility and use by PWD QCXDVN 01: 2002

4.1 The design of route and sidewalk must ensure the accessibility and use by

PWD Surface of route and sidewalk is not sliding, slippery an does not have brusque change in elevation At transport nodes, entrance ways to facilities must be sloping for PWD circulating and accessing to facilities 4.2 Entrance ways and main axial road of promenade paths in parks,

entertainment and recreation, tourism areas must be designed so that PWD could circulate

4.3 On car parking and car waiting spots with calculation of using need by

PWD, there must be arranged signposts, guidance posters

4.4 Routes must be safe, easy to circulate without barriers and wide enough

for wheelchairs to have free way when coming from opposite directions

At spots where roads cross through traffic routes, it must be arranged direction guidance paving plates and stopping plates reserved to blind people

4.5 Facilities installed on routes and sidewalks reserved to pedestrians such

as public phone stations, advertisement posters, suspended objects must not impede normal circulation of PWD

4.6 Routes and sidewalks must be sufficiently lighted, ensuring walkers not

to be dazzled or covered, mostly at spots where there is change in elevation

4.7 At transport nodes, besides the installation of lamp transport signals,

signposts, guidance posters, it is advisable to arrange acoustic signals or Braille raised dots for guiding blind people to cross the routes Signposts, guidance posters must be arranged at the right places and easily identified /recognized Conventional symbols of signposts, guidance posters for PWD are in compliance with regulations in TCXDVN 264:2002 -Building and facilities - Basic rules of accessible design and construction for PWD
