"Do any of the forum members, know if there is an effort made by TfL, to standardise tread/riser distances on steps and stairs in use on the infrastructure it controls, as well as the overall slope angle on new build?
(I'm aware that are some steep stairs on the existing infrastructure that can't be easily replaced.)
Furthermore are these standards varied where the steps/stairs are exposed, such as requiring non-slip surfacing on the treads, or anti-icing measures?"
The above questions are motivated after my own experience on some steep slippery steps (Non TfL) a few years ago.
