Tactile Slabs are designed to assist pedestrians who are visually impaired or blind. Tactile slabs are available in three colours to enhance the distinction between roadways and adjoining paving.

• Red Blister slabs denote controlled crossing zones.

• Natural may also be used in uncontrolled zones provided it achieves an effective contrast with the surroundings. 

Hazard warning slabs alert pedestrians to a hazard that requires caution – for example, at the top and bottom of a flight of stairs. It is recommended that the surface be in a contrasting colour to the surrounding area so as to assist partially sighted people.
