Maaston kuvausSenate Square is mainly paved with cobblestone. Accessible access to the square is from the corner of Unioninkatu and Aleksanterinkatu, where there is a pedestrian crossing with lowered curbs.
Aleksanterinkatu is a cobblestone street along its entire length. There are also two tram tracks running along the street, which may make movement with mobility aids more difficult. The pedestrian walkway on the right side is easier to navigate, but during the parade it may be occupied by spectators.
Mannerheimintie is paved with cobblestones, but there is a wide pedestrian walkway on the left side. Eteläesplanadi is also a cobblestone street, with pedestrian walkways on both sides.
Kasarmikatu is a cobblestone street for approximately half of its length, and there are pedestrian walkways on both sides. Kasarmikatu begins with a gentle uphill slope and ends with a small but steep incline. The steepest part of the hill has a gradient of approximately 7.5%.
In addition to cobblestone sections, the main accessibility challenges along the parade route are related to hills and their steepness. As the parade turns onto Kasarmikatu, the route begins with an uphill section, with the steepest part reaching a gradient of 7.5% when approaching the Surgical Hospital. After the Surgical Hospital, the route continues downhill, with the steepest section reaching a gradient of 7.8%. Due to the steepness of these slopes, mobility aid users may require assistance on the hilly parts of the route
