Chisinau - Post Report Question and Answers
Would someone with physical disabilities have difficulties living in this city?
The sidewalks have been improving but it would still be difficult. - Sep 2023
Yes. It's not very disability-friendly. Lots of bumpy sidewalks and high curbs. They are very slowly installing disability access e.g., ramps on buildings, beepers on traffic lights, but it's going to take many years. A lot of the building stock is still 20th century and that's a thing. - Apr 2019
You name it. Between the ice in the winter, the uneven sidewalks year-round, and the apparent fondness for steep, non-uniform stairs and thresholds, this city is a disabled person's nightmare. - Aug 2011
The town is fairly walkable, but there are quite a few cracks in sidewalks and there can be missing manhole covers. There are few ramps or wheelchair accessible buildings. - May 2010
Very difficult. - Mar 2010
