Tactile Paving and Complying with the Disability Discrimination Act
Tactile paving consists of textured ground surface indicators which feature primarily on footpaths and train station platforms to aid visually impaired pedestrians, enabling transport authorities and service providers to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
Hard Wearing
Suppliers recognise the requirement for hard wearing materials. A unique compound of hard wearing stone and resin composite provides both integrity and the flexibility to cope with undulations and irregularities in existing surfaces prior to fixing.
The bond to the existing surface is achieved by way of a two part colour matched substrate fixing the material. Once installed the surface provides guidance to the visually impaired.
Benefits
• Compliant with legislation
• Aesthetically pleasing
• Provides a user friendly promotion of facilities
• Helps to prevent unnecessary injuries or claims
Where should I install tactile paving?
It’s important to establish where hazards may occur. Detailed below is a list of tactile paving applications:
Highways
Bus stops
Crossings
Traffic islands
Car parks
Kerb & steps
Change of direction
Rail
Railway platform
Car parks
Stairs and escalators
Ramps
Entrance doors
Industrial/Commercial & Leisure
Stairways and escalators
Ramps
Entrance doors
Crossings
Understanding Tactile Paving – Blister Paving
Tactile blister paving is used to identify the location of a drop kerb and an appropriate place to cross. Guidelines regarding the use of tactile paving specify the use of red units at controlled crossing points and buff units at uncontrolled crossing points. Some relaxation of these guidelines may be allowed in conservation areas. Guidelines also exist on the layout and positioning of blister paving units.
Understanding tactile paving – Corduroy Finish (Hazard warning)
Hazard warning paving, sometimes called corduroy paving, is used to identify any type of potential hazard and advise pedestrians to proceed with care. The bars are laid at 90° to the hazard, indicating to users the location or area of the hazard, and are a requirement of the Building Regulations Part M, Requirement M2. These units are often used at the top or bottom of steps, at level crossings and on shared cycle/pedestrian routes when the route meets a crossroad.
Tested for durability
Tests conducted at the Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) on product condition at 40 degrees centigrade found no measurable loss in height at the end of a scuffing test. The surface skid resistance was also measured at 61, well within the preferred range. The unique compound of hard wearing stone and resin lasts up to 5 times longer than an equivalent concrete product.
