Detectable Warning Surfaces at Curb Ramps.
Hauger, J. S.; And Others
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v90 n6 p512-25 Nov-Dec 1996
Four tests evaluated the need for and effectiveness of detectable warning surfaces at curb ramps for pedestrians with blindness. Results found that the effectiveness of the detectable warning surfaces depended on other aspects of the design of the intersections and on factors such as the density of traffic and the traveler's skills.
