Tactile Paths

The installation of tactile routes is almost complete on the sidewalks of “Via Cairoli”. These modular tiles are coded with the Loges system: you have to follow the lines, with the buttons marking the danger. It would in theory make movement easier for people with impaired vision. We already have this kind of tiles in “Via Magenta” and you can see and feel them with your feet on many platforms in railway stations.

Provided that they will stay clear of cars and scooters, my only doubt about these routes is that they are not very straight, changing direction quite often.

Around obstacles the pattern of the tiles gets sometimes quite complicated. Some of our brightest minds already use these as bike paths.
