Bicycles are an efficient, enjoyable, and environmentally sound way to get around, and citizens should encourage the safe and courteous use of bicycles. If you ride a bike, please take a few moments to become familiar with this information. Others may have disabilities which limit their hearing, vision, or mobility. They may not be able to see or hear you approach or be able to move quickly out of the way of a speeding bicycle. When passing pedestrians, please bear this in mind.
Access rails and ramps help people with disabilities enter public buildings.
The visually impaired use them as a guide to the door, and people with impaired mobility use them for support and balance. Bicycles chained to access rails or left on ramps may prevent people from getting into a building, and some with disabilities have been injured in falls over carelessly-placed bicycles. Even under the best of circumstances, it can be a challenge for some to get around - please don t add to their difficulty. Never chain a bike to an access rail or park it on a access ramp. The citizens of Lawton are not immune to this problem.
