As sidewalks and street crossings across America have been transformed by new federal mandates, the Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) Final Rule has now taken effect. This comprehensive course explores how PROWAG Guidelines complement existing ADA requirements, specifically addressing the unique challenges of designing accessible pedestrian facilities within public rights-of-way. You will learn the historical development of ADA and PROWAG regulations, understand the three major issues affecting implementation of accessibility requirements in public spaces, and gain practical knowledge about applying PROWAG ADA standards to common pedestrian facilities such as sidewalks, curb ramps, and street crossings.
