Tactile Paving

Tactile paving is a system of textured ground surface indicators found on many footpaths‚ stairs‚ crossings and train station platforms to assist blind and visually impaired pedestrians. Tactile paving units bear a distinctive raised surface profile that act as a warning to alert pedestrians of impending danger or a grade change.
