Tactile paving
Tactile paving is a system of ground surface tiles designed to help visually impaired people navigate public spaces, including guidance to street crossings, stairs, lifts, escalators and around railway station platforms. It consists of textured surfaces that can be felt with a cane or underfoot, which are usually laid in contrasting colours so that people with vision impairments that still have some vision can also see them.
4 types of conventionally used patterns exist, being divided into 2 groups.
The default colour is Federal Yellow #EFA01B, as this is the most commonly used colour for tactile paving in the US, but the colour is customisable. The first pattern, offset blister, is the default pattern. To use the other patterns, select "decals" in "building properties". In this case, the decal colour needs to be changed to affect those patterns. I didn’t figure out how to make the default decal colour also federal yellow, so they are just default white (but can obviously also be changed).
Circular domes arranged in an staggered grid pattern. Used at or near off-street railway platform edges, to alert the user of the dangerous chasm. As this is the most common type used on railway platforms, it is set as the default option. To select the other patterns, use the drop-down menu in Building properties > Decals.
Same as Offset Blister, but as a field that can be stretched to any width, instead of just a single line.
Circular domes arranged in a grid pattern. Used at pedestrian crossings and locations in which multiple tactile paths branch off from each other, to alert the user that this is an important location.
Same as Blister, but as a field that can be stretched to any width, instead of just a single line.
Rounded rectangles running transversely. They warn of on-street platforms, such as on tram systems. They are also used to indicate a platform edge in some systems that use platform screen doors, as the chasm danger implied by the otherwise used offset blister does not exist.
Linear bars running directionally along the path to be followed. If they are laid transversely across a path, they signal that there are steps or obstacles ahead, such as stairs. In some places, like Germany and Switzerland, the transverse guiding version is used on railway platform edges instead of the offset blister.
