Person with reduced mobility


Signal used in Europe, El Salvador and the United States to indicate areas adapted to people with reduced mobility.

People with reduced mobility (PMR) are those who have permanent or temporary limited ability to move without outside help.

It is a concept widely used in accessibility, since it is broader than the sole consideration of the disabled. The PMR group is composed of both those who have a disability related to mobility (paraplegia, tetraplegia, bone problems, etc.) and those who have difficulties due to other reasons (elderly, pregnant, people with young children, etc.). At the same time, not all disabled people are people with reduced mobility. The definition of which people are of reduced mobility can change according to the regulations in question.

The most common needs for people with reduced mobility are the absence of unevenness, sufficient width of passage, closer spaces for parking, absence of turnstiles in public transport (or specially designed) and priority in customer service.
