Understanding Tactile Paving for Safety
Tactile paving. Raised surfaces that can be felt underfoot provide warning and guidance to blind or partially sighted people. The most common surfaces are a series of raised studs, which are used at crossing points with a dropped kerb, or a series of rounded raised bars which are used at level crossings, at the top and bottom of steps and at some other hazards.
💡Example
Tactile paving uses raised surfaces to help blind or partially sighted people detect crossings and hazards. For example, when approaching a zebra crossing, a blind person might feel the series of raised studs underfoot, indicating the start of the crossing area.
