Minature Cyclists only - limited headroom

I don't know if any of you have come across Warrington Cycle Campaign's facility of the month showing off some of the thoughtless designs for cycle lanes .... but I came across my own example in Oxford earlier this week.

In our current planning for Well House Manor, we're planning to provide a bedroom with wheelchair access - but what about other provisions for customer's needs while we're at it? An excellent suggestion was made yesterday that we should not provide white switches on a white background for people whose sight isn't the best, that we should similarly provide grabrails in a tasteful colour (something like pink on dark blue was mentioned rather than the high contrast institutional bright yellow), and that the fire alarms shouldn't follow the modern fad of having a recorded voice saying "Fire, please leave the building" in case we have visitors whose English isn't good enough to understand the alert.
