Abstract
A tactile guidance system for visually impaired persons comprises a thermoplastic layer having a raised pattern on its top surface, secured with an adhesive to certain pedestrian areas. The raised pattern is detectable to a person stepping thereon, whereby a visually impaired person will understand that they are approaching a potentially hazardous area, such as an intersection cross-walk or the edge of a railway platform.
