Figure 6. Warning pavement dimensions

               The most common elements where warnings are required include stairs, ramps, rail and
               port platform borders, and unprotected changes in level among others.


               2.  Tactile guiding surfaces: this element is used as a directional sign to assist the
                   independent mobility of people with visual disabilities. Guiding patterns should be
                   constructed of flat-topped elongated bars. Bars must be oriented in the direction of
                   the course of travel.


               The tactile guiding surface shall have a minimum width of 400 mm. The distance among
               longitudinal stripes can’t exceed 32 mm.
