Therefore, it is an urgent subject to create a system in society which is user-friendly for older people. This research investigates and proposes suggestions on one particular problematic space for older people : traffic crossings in cities.

The handrail chair would be useful not only to older people but also to anyone who has difficulty moving, such as injured people, pregnant woman, people with heavy baggage, and movementimpaired people, to name a few. This also would transform the atmosphere at intersections into a more human space to catch one's breath. receive assistance crossing, and meet - a new kind of city communication.
