Three kinds of tactile tiles/blocks as shown in Figure 6C are commonly used in constructing a tactile guide path:

i) Directional Tile/Block
This has parallel raised bars for guiding the users along an intended safe path.
ii) Hazard Warning Tile/Block
This has raised big dots (35mm in diameter) arranged in square grid parallel to the sides of the slab for
indication of potential hazards ahead. This type of tile/block could be used alone to form tactile warning strips
at the top and bottom ends of staircase or ramps, and at dropped kerb.
iii) Positional Tile/Block
This has raised small dots (23mm in diameter) placed in staggered positions for indication of possible
change in walking directions.
