Consider needs of disabled riders when designing routes (2016)
Journal Article
Clayton, W. (2016). Consider needs of disabled riders when designing routes. Local Transport Today, 21-21

Cycling by Disabled People deserves more attention in transport policy and design guidance. One in five people experiences some form of disability, and just under two thirds of disabled people have a mobility impairment. People with an impairment exp...
