===People with physical disabilities=== Access to public areas such as city streets, public buildings, and restrooms are some of the more visible changes brought about in recent decades to remove physical barriers. A noticeable change in some parts of the world is the installation of [[elevator]]s, automatic doors, wide doors and corridors, transit [[Elevator|lifts]], [[wheelchair ramp]]s, [[curb cut]]s, and the elimination of unnecessary steps where ramps and elevators are not available, allowing [[wheelchair]] users and with other mobility disabilities to use public sidewalks and [[public transit]] more easily and safely.{{citation needed|date=May 2025}} ====People with visual disabilities==== [[File:Coloradd.png|thumb|left|Code signs for people with color vision deficiency]] {{main|Color_blindness#Society_and_culture|l1 = Problems for the Color Blind in Society}} People with [[color vision deficiency]] regularly deal with implicit discrimination due to their inability to distinguish certain colors. A system of geometrically shaped code signs known as [[Coloradd]] was developed by Professor Miguel Neiva of the [[University of Minho]], [[Portugal]], in 2010 to indicate colours to people who have difficulty discerning them.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dn.pt/cartaz/designcriativo/interior/coloradd-o-codigo-de-cores-para-daltonicos-1527180.html |title=ColorAdd®, o código de cores para daltónicos |access-date=14 September 2013 |language=pt |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140310153451/https://www.dn.pt/cartaz/designcriativo/interior/coloradd-o-codigo-de-cores-para-daltonicos-1527180.html |archive-date=10 March 2014 }}</ref>
