Handicap accessibility refers to the design and features of buildings, public spaces, and transportation systems that enable individuals with disabilities to navigate safely and comfortably. This includes ramps and elevators for wheelchair users, Braille signage for the visually impaired, wide doorways, accessible restrooms, and parking spaces. The goal is to ensure equal access and participation for everyone, regardless of physical limitations. Compliance with accessibility standards, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the United States, is essential for creating inclusive environments and removing barriers for people with disabilities.
