Dénia shows off the first pedestrian crossings adapted for people with ASD

August 19 from 2021 - 09: 28

The painting works of the first pedestrian crossings with pictograms have already begun to adapt them to people with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder), a project of the Dénia City Council that has had the collaboration and advice of the APROSDECO association for validate the pictograms.

The initiative consists of placing four pictograms on the first strip on each side of the pedestrian crossing ('stop', 'look', 'cars', 'cross'), which are completed, in longer steps, with another series of images in the second strip that indicate the direction of travel. The short texts that accompany the drawings can be read in Valencian and Spanish.

The materialization of the project has begun with the pedestrian crossings at the entrances to educational centers and institutes so that they are ready for the start of the new course. The new signage will be extended to the rest of the road paint gradually.

    Bdias. With regard to pedestrian crossings, zebra crossings, as you want to call them, the state in which they are is regrettable. Most of them are not marked with their plates, there are no street lamps at night where they can be seen, nor are they well painted. , some indication plates are even hidden by bushes. Only the passages of the town area start Marinas that even with light indicators but the rest is a chaos. I could not list how they are one by one, you just have to go around and look at it. It seems incredible something as simple as having a couple of people repaint all the steps, without more bureaucracy. Of course we will have to wait for accidents so that the issue is debated and a review is ordered, but I think it should be tried before that happens. Hopefully some respectable committed and competent person reads this and decides to take action and not have to regret any misfortune..My area is El Palmar, at the entrance of Los Ángles hotel and you could start right there …… .It is an interested suggestion.

    For people with Tea and without Tea as well. The number of people who do not know how to use a zebra crossing is impressive. I hope that with the drawings it is clear to them and they do not rush to cross the zebra crossing in full traffic and without looking as they usually do.
