Accessibility is an essential element in realizing inclusive and sustainable urban development. Pedestrian pathways and facilities for persons with disabilities are expected to support safe, comfortable, and independent mobility. However, in many Indonesian cities, the implementation of accessibility standards remains inadequate, creating serious barriers for vulnerable groups. This study aims to conduct a preliminary assessment of accessibility conditions on Pondok Cabe Raya Road, South Tangerang, which functions as a vital corridor connecting residential, educational, commercial, and public service areas. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through field observation and visual documentation. Ten accessibility elements were evaluated, including sidewalks, guiding blocks, ramps, pedestrian crossings, accessibility signage, resting areas, lighting, drainage, physical obstructions, and access to public facilities. The findings show that most elements are either unavailable or do not meet the required standards, with only drainage and partially unobstructed pathways identified. The absence of continuous sidewalks, tactile paving, properly designed ramps, and safe pedestrian crossings remain the main issues. This study concludes that accessibility along Pondok Cabe Raya Road does not comply with national and international standards, thus comprehensive and sustainable accessibility enhancement is required. As a preliminary study, the findings provide an initial mapping of accessibility gaps and serve as a foundation for future quantitative evaluations and inclusive urban design strategies.
