What is meant by the term architectural and sensory barriers?

These can be defined in:

• physical obstacles that are a source of discomfort for the mobility of any person, especially those who, for whatever cause, have a reduced or impeded motor capacity on a permanent or temporary basis;
• obstacles that limit or prevent anyone from the comfortable and safe use of spaces, equipment, or components;
• lack of devices and signs that allow the orientation and recognisability of places and sources of danger for anyone, especially for the visually impaired and the hearing impaired.
