Route and sidewalk - basic rules of
Accessible design and construction for
People with disabilities
Foreword
The standard TCXDVN 265: 2002 has been elaborated on the basis of the
Ordinance on PWD
Article 26.- “The investment for new construction or reconstruction of dwelling
houses, of public amenities and for design, manufacture of domestic furnitures, of
transport and communication means ... must take into account the needs for
convenient use by PWD, firstly of mobility and sight PWD, and at the same time
have to comply with construction codes, standards issued by competent state
agencies”.
TCXDVN 265: 2002 is compiled by the Research Institute for Architecture -
Ministry of Construction, has been submitted by the Department of Science and
Technology - Ministry of Construction, and approved, signed and issued by the
said ministry for enforcement.

Route and sidewalk - Basic rules of accessible design and construction for PWD.
1. Scope of application
2. 1.1. This standard is applied for new construction or reconstruction of
route and sidewalk for ensuring the accessibility and use by mobility
handicapped and blind persons.
Note : Mobility handicapped and blind persons are hereinafter called PWD for
short.
1.2. Various types of routes ensuring the accessibility and use by PWD
comprise pedestrian ways, promenade ways in parks, ways into tourism
area, squares, paths up and down sidewalks in transport nodes, ways into

building and ways for pedestrians on routes for mechanised vehicle,
routes reserved to vehicles without motor, scaffold bridges, tunnels.
Note:1) While applying regulations of this standard, it is mandatory to
comply with regulations of construction codes for ensuring accessibility and
use by PWD.
2) The construction related to route and sidewalk ensuring accessibility and
use by PWD must be integrated into planning design, design of works, and
at the same time constitute a content /subject to be appraised, approved
and handed over.
3) The networks of route and sidewalk constructed for ensuring accessibility
and use by PWD must be taken into account in the elaboration of the
general estimates for investment.

4. General regulations
4.1. The design of route and sidewalk must ensure the accessibility and use by
PWD. Surface of route and sidewalk is not sliding, slippery an does not
have brusque change in elevation. At transport nodes, entrance ways to
facilities must be sloping for PWD circulating and accessing to facilities.
4.2. Entrance ways and main axial road of promenade paths in parks,
entertainment and recreation, tourism areas must be designed so that
PWD could circulate.

4.3. On car parking and car waiting spots with calculation of using need by
PWD, there must be arranged signposts, guidance posters.
4.4. Routes must be safe, easy to circulate without barriers and wide enough
for wheelchairs to have free way when coming from opposite directions.
At spots where roads cross through traffic routes, it must be arranged
direction guidance paving plates and stopping plates reserved to blind
people.
4.5. Facilities installed on routes and sidewalks reserved to pedestrians such
as public phone stations, advertisement posters, suspended objects.....
must not impede normal circulation of PWD.
4.6. Routes and sidewalks must be sufficiently lighted, ensuring walkers not
to be dazzled or covered, mostly at spots where there is change in
elevation.
4.7. At transport nodes, besides the installation of lamp transport signals,
signposts, guidance posters, it is advisable to arrange acoustic signals or
Braille raised dots for guiding blind people to cross the routes. Signposts,
guidance posters must be arranged at the right places and easily identified
/recognized. Conventional symbols of signposts, guidance posters for
PWD are in compliance with regulations in TCXDVN 264:2002 -
Building and facilities - Basic rules of accessible design and construction
for PWD.
