Danger lurks for the wheelchair traveller at Bugis MRT street exit

This path looks apparently barrier-free and safe. This path is the exit point from the MRT wheelchair lift.
On nearer inspection, there is danger here!
There is a huge sudden step at the adjacent path.

A pitfall is an euphemism for dangers lurking for the wheelchair traveller. It can mean a sudden slope, blind spots, steps, holes, cracks or any impediments that can pose danger for wheelchair travellers.
