The width is important as well. I have been on footpaths that
slanted downward across the face of a steep incline. The slope of
the path was moderate, but the path was only about half a meter
wide, with 45-degree slopes above and below the path. A person on
foot could navigate the path (preferably with the aid of a walking
stick), but a wheelchair user would be risking their life on that
path.<br>

a steep way is never suitable for wheelchairs, at least not
according to construction standards (e.g. in Germany, 6% is
the maximum admitted incline, which is 6 meters height for
every 100 meters projected length, and even then you have to
provide horizontal landings every 6 meters). On the other
hand, sharp corners aren't a problem, a wheelchair can rotate
on the spot, standards require a diameter of 1,50 m, but
actual wheelchairs might be smaller.<br>
