About Tactile Pavement

On March 18, 2019, the Google homepage featured an image that shows a blindness cane user standing on tactile pavement, with the word “Google” written across the bottom of the dots. Tactile pavement is a type of pavement that features raised lines, domes, or other textures to communicate safety information to people who are blind, have low vision, or another vision impairment. In the future, I hope that more places will add tactile pavement as a way of communicating information to people with vision impairments who may not otherwise see visual signs.
