FRP Warning (Cautional) Tactile Indicators
Warning (cautional) tactile indicators alert people with vision impairment to an approaching hazard or the need to stop and assess their surroundings before proceeding. They provide an important tactile cue before changes in level, platform edges and other potential hazards, helping create safer and more accessible public environments.
Typical applications include:
-
Stairways
-
Escalators
-
Kerb ramps
-
Railway platform edges
-
Bus stops
-
Tram stops
-
Pedestrian crossings
-
Driveways
-
Overhead hazards
Standard Size
-
600 × 300 × 2 mm
FRP Directional Tactile Indicators
Directional tactile indicators provide guidance for people with vision impairment by indicating the accessible path of travel where there are insufficient natural wayfinding cues such as walls, kerbs or handrails. They assist users in navigating safely through open public spaces, transport interchanges and building entrances.
Typical applications include:
-
Mid-block pedestrian crossings
-
Public transport access points
-
Building entrances
-
Public facilities
-
Accessible pathways
-
Open pedestrian areas
Standard Size
-
600 × 300 × 2 mm
