I wont tell you where this picture came from because I do not want to offend people from this country and their ability to choose leaders who will serve them. This is a Wheel chair ramp for a foot bridge, So Wheelchair using people can travel and walk independently.
The design though looks something for Extreme sports. Like if you are a wheel chair user and you try to climb this ramp, You will end up in a stretcher instead. Same story if you try to go down on this. This project is worth millions of bucks.
In case of people who can walk, Can you even walk down or up on this thing? It looks like a challenge for American Gladiators and Survivor reality show.
Wheelchair ramps are suppose to be covered with a rubber mat so people wont slide. This is just a welded sheet of metal.
With the way this ramp is designed, its safer to risk getting hit by a truck and Jaywalk

@much2say They demonstrated how it works for a real Wheelchair user, He cannot go up nor go down with it on his own, To make it work, he needs 2 assistant and his wheelchair must move backwards while he uses hand rails. The walking people feels vibrations from the trucks and buses because its made of thin sheet of metal.

I know what you mean since the Wheelchair ramp looks dangerous for anyone to attempt to cross.

@Deepizzaguy The engineer makes an excuse it has hand railings.

It's a bit steep, I won't lie. However, unless that's a rule in your country, hate to tell you it's not universal. I've rolled down many a ramp in my day. Most of them are built with whatever material that's handy. And too much friction, such as rubber or carpet actually makes it next to impossible to get up and down them. I've been in a wheelchair since I was 18.
Looks stable enough though. I wouldn't want to roll up it though. I hate going up hill.

Makes me wonder if what's scarier, going up or going down with that thing.

@CaptAlbertWhisker For e, I would have to say going up. Going down, I personally, would have more control.

@kaylachan The thing is 30 feet tall many people did criticized the design because its not its safe for the people they build it for. Its a thin sheet of metal so you will feel the vibrations from the trucks and buses under

That looks dangerous to me and if I was in a wheelchair you could not get me to go down or up that ramp. Heck, I am scared of heights and many times I could not even handle an escalator,

The design should wider instead of making it look like a slide.
