Braille tactile floor tiles, also known as tactile paving, are a type of road facility designed to provide convenience for blind people to travel safely. They are usually made up of three types of bricks. The first type is the directional guide brick, which guides blind people to walk confidently and is called the forward-navigation Braille brick or direction-guide Braille brick. The second type is the prompt brick with round dots, which indicates that there is an obstacle ahead and that it is time to turn. It is called the prompt Braille brick or orientation-guide Braille brick. The last type is the warning Braille brick, with larger round dots, which warns people not to go beyond the brick as there are dangers ahead.

The use of braille tactile floor tiles
