Everything is explained clearly." language: "en" breadcrumb: "Root > Home > Things to do > Accessible travel > Explanation of pictograms" --- Accessible Saxony Explanation of pictograms ========================= Accessibility information ------------------------- The pictograms used here serve as visual representation of the detailed access information. They are in no way a valuation of the accessibility of a facility. The pictograms and the corresponding text entries always allude to the detailed access information in the individual areas of a facility. The access information (minimum dimensions and auxiliaries) for a facility is indicated by pictograms. A pictogram is assigned, if a facility completely or partly complies with all dimensions indicated in the pictogram. The dimensions that deviate from the indicated dimensions in the pictogram are listed in the text below the pictogram. All other dimensions not disclosed in the text are being complied with in the facility. Minor differences of the indicated movement areas will not be disclosed separately. Possible barriers in a facility, as steps to the hotel restaurant for instance, are being referred to in the text. The pictogram for accessible toilets describes the public toilet for wheelchair users.
