Installing Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSI) well is easy to get right and easy to get wrong.
When combined with other environmental information, TGSI assist people who are blind or have low vision with their orientation and awareness of impending obstacles, hazards, and changes in their direction of travel.
The RTS14 guidance says they should be used appropriately and not overused.
We only have two types, directional and warning TGSIs.
