hillside with sign: 'not accessible for wheelchair'
This blinding moment of 'duh' can be found at the vista point off I-280 S, just south of CA-92.

Yep -- and then the fatties come here and wheel themselves down our footpaths bowling little old ladies over! Rarrrgh!

In the meantime, this was all just an elaborate ruse -- I went to the States, put that sign up where I knew Rone would be travelling, and sat back and waited -- just to troll Rone into typing "vista".

We don't have anything like the stupidy of ADA -- just voluntary access ramps for places that feel that way inclined, plus I think mandatory access to government buildings where practical (eg, not my old 108 year old physics building). Still, the public observatory I used to work at installed an access ramp, without giving much thought into enabling wheelchair bound viewers access to the eyepieces.
