wheelchair ramp
Incline for mobility
A wheelchair ramp is an inclined surface allowing wheelchair users to move between different elevations without stairs.
Ramps appear at building entrances, curbs, and vehicles.
Accessibility laws in many countries require them in public spaces.
The restaurant finally installed a wheelchair ramp at the side entrance.
