[Accessibility] Routing and accessibility

[Francois GRUCHY]

	i all,
As a potential user, I wonder if the routing evaluation takes into account singular point that are difficult for visually impaired people. It could be a huge cross road, a non accessible lift. I would appreciate to be able to have a route avoiding me to pass at some difficult point.

Thanks in advance for your answer

Francois
