📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure continues to talk about the means of creating conditions for physical accessibility. One of these means is the installation of tactile strips to facilitate orientation in space for visually impaired people.
One of the important functions of tactile strips is warning about various types of danger or obstacles when moving - both on the streets and inside buildings and structures. Lanes inform about the start and end of traffic, changes in the direction of traffic, mark places of boarding transport, places of receiving goods and services, and also signal the presence of reference or other information.
Tactile stripes must be distinct from the main surface on which they are mounted and be felt by contact with a cane or the sole of a shoe. Also, they should differ in color and texture.
There is a popular claim that a yellow tactile tile measuring 30*30 cm is the only correct solution for arranging a barrier-free space for people with visual impairments. But in fact, there are many more varieties of tactile stripes.
Types of tactile stripes
Tactile strips are standard and special.
Standard tactile can be:
kerbstone,
lawn,
different types of paving slabs, cobblestones, asphalt, which differ tactilely and in color, etc.
