(Third of a Series)
LAST week's article discussed the requirements for pedestrian crossings; signage that indicates the location of lobbies, emergency exits and toilets in buildings that are readable even by persons with visual impairments; and accessible parking slots reserved for the use of vehicles of persons with disabilities or vehicles with passengers with disabilities as stated in the current Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Batas Pambansa Bilang 344 (BP344) or the Accessibility Law. This week's article will discuss the requirements for Washrooms and Toilets.
