Elevator foot switch

The photo above is an elevator of Daimyo-machi underpass at the center of Fukui City. It has foot switches that you can press the buttons with your foot. Though the elevator is not so new, what is so-called barrier-free is considered.

If you have no handicap, pushing a switch with your foot is also useful when your hands are occupied by luggage etc. An environment that is easy for people with physical disabilities to live should also be appreciated by non-disabled people as well.
