of disabled people would find fewer cars parked on the pavement useful to walk or wheel more.

Walking is often ignored in transport policy. One reason may be that transport policy has typically served the needs of people that are more likely to be privileged. However, the walking and wheeling environment in many places does not work for everyone. For example, cars, cycles and e-scooters are increasingly encroaching on pavement space.
