Mobility Audit

Mobility Audits are sometimes referred to as Accessibility Audits or Disability Audits. 

A Mobility Audit is a check on a scheme to ensure that there is appropriate access to the highway for a range of users with disabilities.  The audit should consider the provision for:

• visually-impaired pedestrians
• hearing-impaired pedestrians
• wheelchair users
• mobility-impaired people

The Disability Discrimination Act 2005 amended the previous DDA to remove an exemption regarding highway services.

It is now a statutory duty for highway authorities to provide reasonable access to the highway for disabled road users, within new schemes.
