What are your favorite "accessibility red flags"?
In other words, when you first access a website, device, service, physical space, etc., what is something that immediately warns you, this won't go well for some disabled people?
I'd love to hear various perspectives, so please boost if you're willing.

a grumble about tech-related assumptions
The fair pay campaign leaflet had a QR code, but with my phone it didn't actually work - I suspect because of the reversed colour-scheme.
I guess either they didn't test it at all or they tested it with swankier cleverer phones.
And there was no web address anywhere on the flyer, not even in small print! (The article above is one I looked up by searching.)
It strikes me as classic present-day "romance of clever tech". Where is the basic common sense of "not everyone has the same phone" or "what's the fallback if the technical cleverness doesn't work".
