curb ramp

Wheelchair street access

A curb ramp is a short inclined surface that transitions between a sidewalk and the street, allowing wheelchairs, strollers, and wheeled vehicles to cross without navigating a vertical curb.

Required by accessibility laws at intersections and crosswalks: The curb ramps at that corner are too steep for my wheelchair.
