| 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.
