Braille barrier-free diagrams have been added to the upper bridge entrances at the north and south ends of Lianhua North Bridge on Beihuan Avenue.
On April 7, Ms. Mai, a citizen, said that when she was riding in Futian Shangmeilin subway station, she saw an "accessible Braille map" at the entrance and exit, which not only marked the blind passages and vertical elevators in the subway in Braille, but also provided voice navigation.
The reporter visited the barrier-free facilities in Shangmeilin subway station, Buji Yuanping special education school and the surrounding area of Pingzhou subway station, and found that the barrier-free facilities in Shenzhen city have been greatly improved compared with before, which has been praised by the public. However, there are also cases where blind roads are occupied and traffic safety is difficult to guarantee. The interviewed citizens call for giving way to blind roads.
The barrier-free facilities of subways, overpasses and zebra crossings are improving.
From the entrance G of Shangmeilin subway station, you can see a Braille map next to the security checkpoint. The Braille logo on the map can not only facilitate the blind to touch and identify, but also broadcast reminders in the station. According to the subway staff, blind people can walk along the blind road to the vertical elevator entrance, and the stair handrails in the station are also engraved with Braille. If blind people encounter obstacles, the duty officer will also come forward to help guide them. When the reporter changed at Hongling North Station on Line 9, he saw a blind man walking along the blind road in the station with a blind stick, and he went to the vertical elevator smoothly.
At the upper bridge mouth at the north and south ends of Lianhua North Bridge on Beihuan Avenue, a braille barrier-free schematic diagram has been added, and there are also raised braille on the handrails. Scanning the QR code on the schematic diagram can get the guidance of the surrounding roads. It is understood that this is a pedestrian bridge blind aid facility added in Futian District last October. In addition to Lianhua North Bridge, Xiangmei North Bridge in the North Ring Road, Jingtian North Bridge and Meilong Bridge have also been installed.
With the release of barrier-free electronic map in Shenzhen last July, it is more convenient and safer for the blind and disabled to travel than before. The reporter searched the barrier-free map through the WeChat applet and saw that the blind and the disabled can avoid the obstacles on the line by choosing wheelchair trails, blind roads or public transportation. These facilities have been praised by the public.
The ground blind road was occupied, and the citizens called for the blind road to make way.
Compared with the above-mentioned perfect barrier-free facilities, the reporter visited and found that the blind roads in many areas were occupied by electric vehicles and motor vehicles.
At 11: 00 a.m. on the 9th, on the periphery of Daqinli Shopping Mall next to Pingzhou Station, where netizens reported that the blind road was seriously occupied, the reporter saw that the sidewalk and blind road of Haicheng Road in front of the shopping mall were occupied by dense electric vehicles for hundreds of meters, and the narrow part of the sidewalk was only more than one meter wide, and electric vehicles shuttled by from time to time. Not only blind people and people with disabilities in wheelchairs have nowhere to go, but even the travel safety of ordinary pedestrians is difficult to guarantee. In order to prevent electric vehicles from being parked in disorder, the shopping mall property placed flower baskets around the entrance and exit of the square, but it also blocked the barrier-free access. Similarly, there are too many electric vehicles outside the entrances and exits of Pingzhou subway station, which leads to disorderly parking occupying sidewalks and blind roads.
"Although the blind roads and barrier-free facilities in subway stations are good, with the rapid increase of electric vehicles, the contradiction of parking on many ground roads is increasing, which leads to the situation that disorderly parking occupies blind roads." Mr. Li, a citizen, said that this requires the relevant departments to comprehensively rectify the specific situation and plan the parking area. At the same time, he called on the public to pay more attention to the blind and disabled people, consciously abide by the rules, and not to occupy the blind road when parking.
Ms. Mai said: "It is convenient for the blind to travel by adding facilities for the blind. At the same time, it also needs supervision, protection and publicity. The safety of sidewalks and blind roads really needs to be guaranteed. We call on the media and all sectors of society to pay more attention to ensure the travel safety of special groups."
