(2) what is his estimate of the number of people who propel prams or pushchairs out of doors who would benefit from the ramping of pavements;
(3) what is his estimate of the number of people who use wheelchairs out of doors who would benefit from the ramping of pavements;
(4) what is his estimate of the number of wheelchair users who do not venture out of doors because of the hazards involved in negotiating pavements;
(5) what is his estimate of the total number of people who would benefit from the ramping of pavements.
§ Mr. Barry JonesFollowing advice given in the publication "Roads in Urban Areas" highway authorities generally provide ramped footways wherever these are much used by persons in wheelchairs or with perambulators. No information is available on the number of persons who find these facilities helpful, nor of those who might be deterred through the hazards of kerbs at pavements.
