Yeah, that's what I was going to say. It's not a step, it's a launch platform.

Wonder how many Fail Army videos are shot there?

It's there intentionally to provide a stop for people walking downhill who have trouble slowing down. Also to prevent cyclists/skateboarders from abusing the hill.
That ramp is way too steep to be intended for wheelchair use, and it would legally require at least a couple of landings on the way down as well.

You think there's gonna be less abuse because they gave them a ramp?

My very first thought was “that’s a sick skate spot” lol

It makes sense from an outsider - it increases difficulty. But that ignores that someone trying to charge a hill would likely enjoy the added difficulty and increased skill exploitation. Scary shit was my favorite when I was a younger, adrenaline addicted dumbass.

Legally? There's no handrail, "stopping people who have trouble slowing down" is some rank bull, and thinking one step will prevent bikes/boards is some full ass nonsense.

Abusing?
Do you mean ‘using’?

The architect must hate people in wheelchairs.

Just in case you go rolling down and can't stop. At least the speed bump. Don't want end up in wheelier chair.

Its not meant for wheelchairs, look at how stew it is. Would be ridiculously unsafe.

I’ve used steeper ramps! Not recommended, per se, but doable…
whatfuckingever69 t1_j22miww wrote
That’s probably really nice that you are able to use steeper slopes. It doesn’t change that this isn’t ADA compliant at all and would be very unsafe for many people, and is just clearly not meant for wheelchairs

That bad design is actually code. After so many feet you need to have a landing.
