Problems Experienced by People with Disabilities when Using Parking Spaces
Problemi s kojima se suocavaju osobe s invaliditetom o koristenju parkiralista
Given that persons with disabilities are vulnerable road users, who differ in their needs regarding the so-called “normal persons”, adjustments need to be made in transport systems and their accompanying facilities in order to provide accessible transport without any difficulties, to be used by this group of road users. This paper presents the data on the percentage of people with disabilities in the world and in the Republic of Macedonia. Also, on the field, in the city of Gevgelija, the problems faced by people with disabilities when using parking spaces have been recorded and presented. The paper also presents the recommended dimensions and designs for parking spaces for people with disabilities, in order to provide greater security and accessibility in the transfer from and into the vehicle during the parking activity.
