Tactile Flags
Concrete flags providing guidance or warning of potential hazards to the visually impaired.
Application
Used to assist the blind and partially sighted people at pedestrian crossings.
Description
Tactile paving flags are used to assist the blind and partially sighted people at controlled and uncontrolled pedestrian crossings such as zebra/ pelican/ puffin crossings/ toucan crossings, traffic signals with pedestrian phases, crossovers, crossings away from junctions, kerb-to-kerb humps and traffic signals without a pedestrian phase.
The flags are available in three colour finishes to enable the partially blind to distinguish between different types of crossing zones:
- Red relates to controlled crossing zones.
- Buff is available to distinguish uncontrolled crossing zones.
- Grey is manufactured for the Republic of Ireland (ROI) market.
Tactile Flags:
- Blister paving is used to identify pedestrian crossings with dropped kerbs.
- Corduroy paving is used to denote a hazard such as the top/ bottom of a flight of steps.
