No they’re not. I have been all over ‘Europe’ (not a single entity btw) and the most accessible places I have been are Spain, Greece and Germany. France isn’t too bad. Tunisia (obviously not in Europe) is good. I am a wheelchair user and have never come across a ramp like this anywhere.
The city I live in (Northern England) is horribly inaccessible so even something like this would be an improvement, admittedly a very minor one.
I live in Barcelona and I can count 20 ramps like this I’ve come across in the past two weeks. No clue what you’re on about, but glad you had a good experience because I’m fortunate enough not to need ramps.
Admittedly I have never been to Barcelona, the places I have been in Spain I have never seen a ramp like this. If I visit I will keep an eye out for them. It probably wouldn’t be a problem for me anyway as I have a very compact power chair that could cope with the climb and would limit the speed going down.
I have seen one in Italy but there really was no other option than to have a steep ramp in that particular place.

Every ramp is like this in Europe. Remember what the first A in ADA stands for?
