Mobility

Mobility is a significant issue with both local and global ramifications. It affects many paths, but what I find most particularly pressing is the lack of accessibility in transportation systems, especially for people with disabilities. We can count the road sizes and the fact that there are no walking paths. First, we can see that people with disabilities suffer a lot because of the transportation systems, as they are usually defined by impairments and limitations that prevent independent movement. At the same time, their community and where they live don't make it easy for them because of stairs, no parking places, and no service animals. Why don't we use assistive technology for those people, like creating and building some wheelchair ramps, grab bars, accessible passageways, accessible parking, access to digital content, and also wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, joysticks, head pointers, augmentative and alternative communication? Then, the roads: every year, people and car companies create bigger trucks and cars, and with all those people who drive and the size of roads, there are more accidents happening. So why don't we use technology to solve this, like building a self-driving system that can control the car and prevent accidents or building bigger roads or roads only for trucks? Finally, walking roads. Why are there no walking roads only for humans and animals, where there are no cars, just walking, and those roads will be on beaches and around forests, like natural places? Studies have proven that when people walk between forests, they will remove all bad energy, and with that, no depression, sadness, and that will make the suicide levels get down.
