Actually they are for anyone who needs a smoothe transition from street to sidewalk. When ever a new sidewalk is built or one is replaced it now has to comply with ADA regulations. Communites are also adding the rubber pads with the bumps on them for those that are blind & use the long cane to know where they are going. When the cane hits the bumps they know they are at an intersection about to cross a street.
