126. Disability
Disability refers to a physical, sensory, intellectual or other long-term condition that, together with environmental or accessibility barriers, may affect how a person participates in everyday activities. In road traffic, people with disabilities may participate as pedestrians, drivers, cyclists, passengers or users of mobility devices.
Road systems should take account of accessibility, safe crossings, suitable parking and sufficient time and space for people with different mobility or sensory needs. Drivers should take particular care around road users who may require additional time or space to travel safely.
