6.1.3 Access plan

Successful implementation of the access plan requires attention to detail during design, construction and maintenance. The following are important items to consider:-

  • Identify accessible route from public transport, surrounding streets and link bridges.
  • Identify safe access and entry level from pedestrian path, elevated walkways and car park area.
  • Consider access options to facilitate independent access.
  • Consider access to all levels in a building and/or open space to facilitate a continuous accessible path.
  • Consider building/facility and service layout options to facilitate unimpeded access and flexibility in use.
  • Consider information, way finding (6.1.3b) at public transport station and street access entry points to major facilities.
  • Consider directory signage, information counters and other public facilities such as telephone booth at principal entry points to facilities.
  • Evaluate access and evacuation options including consultation with users/operators and relevant authorities.
  • Prepare access plan including access requirements and management arrangements.
