Classic ramp fail
Failblog.org brings us this classic Very Bad Ramp.

Here we have what is clearly a modification to the original building to attempt to bring it up to code. The building's floor level seems to be about a meter higher than the street. It appears that some original stairs have been torn out, and replaced with a ramp, so the slope of the ramp is the same as the slope of the stairs.
In case we missed it, the ramp is helpfully stenciled with the wheelchair access symbol. Perhaps they didn't think we'd realize that they meant it to be the accessible entrance if they didn't label it?
Here, an ablebodied man poses for a picture, crouching to attempt to drag himself up the ramp in illustration of just how full of fail it is.

I ran into a wonderful issue tonight as I was lugging two coolers packed with ice up a flight of stairs on a hand-cart- No elevator. My back would have been pleased if there was an elevator, but alas.
