They must find ways to deal creatively with obstacles, or just trying to cross a busy intersection with cars that try to cut them off. They must deal with holes in sidewalks, and public busses that have broken lifts, or deal with paratransit vans that are always late. They'd have to deal with inaccessible restrooms in public places, store aisles that are too narrow or crowded for wheelchairs, and people patronizing them.
