message: When I was visiting Japan (specifically the Osaka area) and Taiwan, there was tactile paving basically on every sidewalk. I wasn't sure what they were for until now. Maybe a mention on how common they are outside the US? Jumping  cheese 09:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The History section of this article is full of sentence fragments and doesn't make much sense.  It needs to be re-written, in English.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.175.152.214 (talk) 19:20, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: = Pagina Inutile e Dannosa 

message: It reads: " ... the United Kingdom, Australia and the United States picked up the standard in the early 1990s, after passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)." This does not make sense. UK and Australian use of tactile paving does not follow from the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I will remove the section after the last comma and change the comma to a full stop.--Megaton Sheriff (talk) 11:19, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Doesn't make sense 

message: The section on the United Kingdom is both incomplete and factually incorrect. Amongst the incorrect statements is that tactile paving does not have a directional function. In the document "Guidance on the use of Tactile Paving Surfaces" which is cited in the United Kingdom section it says "Tactile paving surfaces can be used to convey important information to visually impaired pedestrians about their environment, for example, hazard warning, directional guidance, or the presence of an amenity. Research has determined that visually impaired people can reliably detect, distinguish and remember a limited number of different tactile paving surfaces and the distinct meanings assigned to them." (p12) [emphasis added] Further, it says that there are only two types of tactile paving surface when, in fact that document describes three broad types, blisters [Ch 1, p19ff)], corduroy [Ch2, p53ff] and lozenge [Ch4, p67ff]; there are also subtypes, performing different functions using different patterns of blisters, for example, to provide different types of information. While it would be difficult to include all information from that document in the article, this section does need to be tidied up.--Megaton Sheriff (talk) 09:59, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
