Using the old criteria our indicator would have been 97.2%. (signals).
With the new criteria (dropped kerbs 0 to 6mm, poles less than 500mm
from textured pavement and audibles/tactile cones) it is likely to drop
to 84.2% with the information collected so far.
As more sites are inspected it is likely to drop further.
We have however not received any complaints from disabled groups.
I am also disappointed that the new criteria is being applied to equipment 
installed before 98 when, LRN 1/98 was issued.
