However, these blind people do not let their condition hinder then from working. They can definitely work on time if they use the areas where there are tiles. Since this became very popular, this is not widely used in many countries for various reasons. Not only is this helpful to those with visual conditions, but to those with other kinds of disabilities as well.

These tiles are intended to give notice to those pedestrians with sight problems that they should take the necessary precaution because a vehicle is coming. Therefore, the outdoors now is safer for those that are impaired physically. Although there are a lot of designs to choose from, but there are only a few that are accepted.
