Visibility of doors for visually impaired people
Doors should be visually distinguishable through careful choice of colour and material so that visually impaired and partially sighted people can identify door openings and the leading edge of doors.
The presence of doors, whether open or closed, should be apparent to visually impaired people through the careful choice of colour and material for the door and its surroundings. For example, when a door is open, partially sighted people should be able to identify the door opening within the wall, and the leading edge of the door.
