Detectable warning = ‘Stop sign’
Delineates the location of the edge of the streetDoes not designate the best crossing location for a pedestrian who is blind or visually impairedDoes not provide alignment information

Various surfaces have been installed in the public rights-of-way that have not proven to be detectable under foot and with cane

Research on street detection at curb ramps
Two studies confirmed that removal of the curb was problematic for travelers who are blind 39% of blind travelers did not detect
the street and stop when they approached on a curb ramp
Repeating analysis with only the ramps that met ADA requirements, (were lower slope than 1:12), 48% of travelers stepped into the street

Research on effect of DW on individuals with mobility impairments
little effect on safety and negotiabilityconsidered to be safer, more slip resistant, more stable, and to require less effort to negotiate than concrete curb rampssmall minority affected adversely by detectable warnings (full width and depth of the ramp)

Japanese research on dome spacing
Varied sizes and spacing interval between domes (dots). Three (shown enclosed by the line) were identified as dot tiles on at least 90% of trials.

Products vary considerably in dome profiles
