What Are Tactile Ground Surface Indicators?

Tactile Ground Surface Indicators are designed to assist any person with a temporary, permanent, full or partial vision-impairment to negotiate a built environment. They provide guidance and/or warning of an obstruction or hazard in any location where insufficient alternative or ‘natural’ tactile cue exists in a built environment. When combined with other environmental information, TGSI’s assist people who are blind or vision-impaired with their orientation.

Difference Between Warning & Directional Tactile Ground Surface Indicators

Warning – Truncated domes designed to warn pedestrians of hazards in the path of travel.
Directional – A series of raised bars aligned to advise pedestrians of the direction of travel to a facility or point of service.
