We publish a similar map of evacuation and triage areas in our parking lot around our building in the case of building evacuation. The map is part of a flyer that also contains text that describes who should go where. If the route could be described verbally, you could take a similar approach. Once it's text, it's accessible.

Subject: [WebAIM] accessible snow walks

Our university has a network of priority sidewalks ('snow walks') which are cleared first during snow storms. Unfortunately, the existing maps are not accessible to anyone with a visual impairment. The maps are just a bird's eye view of parts of campus with certain paths highlighted.

Does anyone have or has anyone come across anything like this that is accessible for someone that is visually impaired?

Thanks!
