有读者、网友反映，多地一些无障碍设施被封堵、占用或标识错误，不好用、不能用—— 无障碍设施咋成了“障碍”（金台视线）

Core Viewpoint - The construction of barrier-free facilities in China has made progress, but significant issues remain, including the obstruction and poor maintenance of these facilities, which hinder the mobility of people with disabilities and the elderly [1][2][3]. Group 1: Issues with Barrier-Free Facilities - Many public places lack barrier-free access or have obstructed pathways, making it difficult for individuals with mobility challenges to navigate [2][3]. - Specific examples include blocked wheelchair access at shopping centers and parks, where barriers such as steel pipes and chains have been installed, rendering these facilities ineffective [2][3]. - The absence of proper management and maintenance of barrier-free facilities has led to situations where these facilities are either not built according to standards or are misused [2][3][4]. Group 2: Inadequate Hygiene and Maintenance - There is a notable shortage of accessible restrooms, and those that exist often do not meet hygiene standards, leading to complaints from users [3][4]. - Reports indicate that some accessible restrooms are locked or repurposed, and when available, they are often in poor condition, with inadequate cleaning and maintenance [3][4]. Group 3: Blind Pathways and Signage Issues - Blind pathways are frequently obstructed by vehicles or other obstacles, which compromises their intended function and poses safety risks for visually impaired individuals [4][5]. - There are also issues with incorrect installation of braille signage, which can mislead visually impaired users and create further challenges in navigation [5][6]. Group 4: Legislative and Management Recommendations - The implementation of the Barrier-Free Environment Construction Law aims to enhance the accessibility for all, not just for people with disabilities, indicating a shift towards a more inclusive approach [7][8]. - Experts suggest that there is a need for improved supervision and management of barrier-free facilities, as well as clearer responsibilities among various stakeholders to ensure effective maintenance and compliance with standards [7][8][9]. - Engaging users in the planning and evaluation of barrier-free facilities is recommended to enhance usability and satisfaction [10].
