Barrier-Free Design is an inclusive approach to creating environments, products, and services that are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or disability. It eliminates physical, sensory, and cognitive barriers through features like:
- Step-free entrances (ramps, elevators)
- Wide pathways and doorways for wheelchairs
- Tactile signage and audio cues for visual impairments
- Intuitive layouts and clear signage for ease of use
Aligned with standards like the Equality Act, ADA and Universal Design principles, it ensures equal access in buildings, public spaces, and digital platforms. Beyond compliance, barrier-free design benefits seniors, parents with strollers, and temporarily injured individuals, fostering inclusivity and independence for all.
