Next time you walk around some city streets, take a look around.
What's the sidewalk like? If it's made out of bricks, does it look very smooth or...

The path I walk to work doesn't even have sidewalks over half of it.
When it comes to public walkways, part of it is probably car culture. Everybody assumes that nobody would be using them anyway, so they fall into disrepair.
When I had temporarily lost most of the use of one of my hands, I suddenly noticed how many doors were less accessible than before. Anything that requires grip (round handles) is much more of a pain than anything that mainly uses force as leverage. I also learned how to open child-proof pill bottles with only one hand, which is a skill I am inordinately proud of.
I'm going to go ahead and assume that every single object presents some daily annoyance to somebody if no attention is paid to its design.
The world did not start as a place accessible to people with disabilities.
But because we are humans, and we are smart, we realised that we can do things to make this world a bit more forgiving to people with disabilities.
I'd say we need to spread the awareness, I know a lot of us are already doing it, but still too many people don't seem to know or realise how important that is.
I've been more aware of accessibility after taking lessons in college about accessibility in IT. I think we have been doing a great job at the digital world, but it is not always the same in the real world. When it comes to accessibility I always remember how the yellow security line on the subway here is always missing a tile or two and I think about what can happen with a visual impairment because of that. It is details that we must be aware of.
I broke my leg earlier this year, and I'm still recovering. It's just absolutely insane how much you take walking for granted, as do businesses. The train station I use has two platforms with one entrance, meaning to get to the platform I need to walk up and down a 3-flight staircase bridge with absolutely no disability access!
Things are changing slowly, but I sometimes feel that it's the capitalist mindset that means disabilities aren't a leading thought for services. For the cost, there's not often enough return, in their mind.
But things are changing for the better. Slowly, but still!
