Types of GRP/Polyurethane Tactile Pavers

Blister Pedestrian Crossing (Highway)

The GRP blister surface of the tiles provides a warning to visually impaired people. The surface is therefore an essential safety feature for this group of road users at pedestrian crossing points, where the footway is flush with the carriageway to enable wheelchair users to cross unimpeded.

Corduroy Paving

The purpose of the corduroy surface is to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specific hazards; steps, level crossings or the approach to on street light rapid transport (LTR) platforms. GRP Corduroy Pavers are also used where a footway joins a shared route. It conveys the message: Hazard, proceed with caution.

Blister Platform Edge - Off Street

This Tactile is used to advise visually impaired people of the edge of all off-street railway platforms. The blister surface can be read by foot or cane, warning of the approach to a rail platform edge.

Tactile pavers must adhere to strict regulations for size, angle and position. Find out more about tactile paving regulations.
