We had to spend about a month mapping the city to figure out WHERE THE FUCK SHE COULD GET ON AND OFF THE SIDEWALK.

Wow. It even worse than my shithole.

Dude it gets worse. They installed decorative boulders on our sidewalk instead of adding ramps. The stones were SANDSTONE AND IMMEDIATELY ERODED.

It was pointless, got in the way, and cost tax payer money.

The boulders used to take up 1/3 of the walk way, so I'm happy they're being weatherd.

Jesus christ who is in charge of this, lol. I'm so sorry. That sounds frustrating as hell, I really have no good words.

Just make it national law to follow an industry standard that includes ramps everywhere a intentional transition between roads or entrances to properties are.

Germany has DIN 18317 and DIN 18318 for that. DIN = Deutsche Industrie Norm (German industry standard)

Same with GOSTs here.

GOST = ГОСТ = (Меж)государственный Стандарт = (Inter)national Standard

Was just National Standard during USSR.

Wait you used both Latin and Cyrillic scripts to describe that.

Are they both used in former Soviet countries? Are the Cyrillic words phonetically closer to what GOST would sound like?

I'm trying to understand your question. Latin and Cyrillic scripts? Depends on language. In Russian only Cyrillic. Polish I think uses Latin.

Are the Cyrillic words phonetically closer to what GOST would sound like?

GOST is transliteration of ГОСТ. International Standard is translation. Or Interstate Standard if "государство" is translated as state.

For a second, I thought you had quoted a different paragraph.
