Tactile paving is a system of textured ground surface indicators designed to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating public spaces. These surfaces use raised patterns to convey information about the environment, such as the presence of a crosswalk or a change in elevation. Typically found in urban areas, tactile paving is made from materials like concrete or rubber and is often installed at key locations, including train stations, bus stops, and pedestrian crossings. The patterns are standardized to ensure consistency and help users identify safe pathways and potential hazards.
