Open-riser stairs look cool but can be harrowing for people with serious visual impairments. Left: this open-riser stair has no rail and no guiding wall to follow. Center: this one at least has a minimal handrail, although it’s too open for safety. Right: this stair has a nice handrail with a glass wall on both sides, although a blind person could still bump heads with it when approaching from the side.
