Tactile paving (also called Tenji blocks, truncated domes, detectable warnings, tactile tiles, tactile ground surface indicators, tactile walking surface indicators, or detectable warning surfaces) is a system of textured ground surface indicators found on footpaths, stairs and railway station platforms, to assist pedestrians who are vision impaired.

Tactile warnings provide a distinctive surface pattern of truncated domes, cones or bars, detectable by a long cane or underfoot, which are used to alert the vision-impaired of approaching streets and hazardous surface or grade changes. There is disagreement between the design and user community as to whether installing the aid inside buildings may cause a tripping hazard.

A system of tactile paving was first instituted in Asia, starting at Okayama in Japan at pedestrian crossings and other hazardous road situations; followed by Singapore especially on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rail Transit (LRT) and its sidewalks, and on South Korean city subways.

Western countries such as Australia, United Kingdom and the United States subsequently picked up the standard at major cities in the early 1990s, and Canada started incorporating them into transportation first in the 1990s, before adding them to other aspects of the built environment in the early and late 2000s.
