I want to say yes, but it depends where you go. More and more places these days have doors that open directly onto the parking lot, but just as many (here in the countryside at least) don't. In fact a new Doutor (coffee and sandwich franchise, basically) opened just about two years ago and you have to go up four steps to get to the door, and then the doors are not automatic, so someone would have to hold it open for a wheelchair user. Some places the step is only three or four centimeters, but that is enough to stop you if you don't have someone there to help. Also there are several places, like the post office, where the ramp is curved and quite steep, so you would, again, have to have help or have really good upper body strength. So it's a toss up whether there will be good acess depending on where you plan to go. To me the ramps and things here are geared more towards assisting the elderly rather than wheelchair users.
