    At a nearby grocery store the bathrooms are marked as handicapped accessible. The door is in a narrow hallway, it swings outward, you must immediately make two turns once your through the door, the sink juts out into the room making a narrow passageway between the wall and one stall door before you get to the handicapped stall, which also opens outward, and is longer than a normal stall, but no wider. My mom literally got stuck in that bathroom trying to get back out because she couldn’t turn her wheelchair around, and maintainance had to come remove the stall door off both stalls to give her exactly enough room to finally get free.

    Those doors also swing outwards, so even if you get down there the door will hit against your wheelchair and you can’t get in

    Well they better be, because if a wheelchair bound person makes it down those stairs, they are going to be there for a while and may need to use the toilet.

    Might as well have slapped an “A.I.-powered for your convenience and safety” sign on those doors, while they’re going through the mindless bullshit motions.

    Is it possible the wheelchair symbol is being used here to refer to mobility handicaps in general and not specifically to wheelchairs?

      No, because “mobility handicaps in general” includes wheelchairs, and I think we can all agree wheelchair users may have some difficulty accessing them.
