In commercial and public spaces, people of all abilities interact daily, from the general public to individuals with disabilities. For those who are blind or vision-impaired, navigating the built environment, especially crossing roads or busy areas, can be especially challenging. That’s where Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs) come in.
While most people walk over tactile indicators without a second thought, these systems are vital orientation tools for people with vision impairments. They provide environmental cues and guidance, allowing safer, more confident movement through public areas.
Installed at key locations like pedestrian crossings, staircases, escalators, and travelators, tactile indicators must meet strict guidelines to ensure maximum safety and usability. Proper placement, size, and quality are essential to making these indicators effective.
