ABSTRACT
Tactile paving surfaces are required for visually impaired pedestrians to detect important information about their surroundings. The consideration of tactile paving is required as part of an inclusive design process with regard to obligations under the Equality Act 2010. Reference should also be made to BS 8300-1:2018, Design of an accessible and inclusive built environment. External environment – Code of practice. BS 15209:2008, Tactile paving surfaces indicators produced from clay and stone, sets out construction standards for the materials of tactile surfaces.
