    friendly system.

    Tactile tiles

    These are the brightly colored (usually yellow


    and/or red) tiles you will see on pavements, metro,
    underground, subway, bus and tram stations and
    other public places. Marked with little bumps and
    ridges, these tiles would be installed in any place
    that claims to be accessible for the persons with
    visual impairment.
    SINGAGE

    It's easy to forget just how ubiquitous


    signs are in our everyday life – and yet,
    sometimes we don't notice them we
    truly need them! In general, they serve
    several common purposes: to promote,
    identify, provide information, give
    directions or to raise safety awareness

    It also enables people with visual and


    hearing impairments and people with
    learning difficulties to use the
    environment as independently as
    possible.
    wheelchair access

    Ramps are provided at the road level


    of metro stations to facilitate
    wheelchair movement up to the lifts

    a method by which someone can enter


    or leave a place in a wheelchair: The
    Disability Discrimination Act requires
    businesses to provide ramps for
    wheelchair access.

    HAND  RAILS

    Handrails are commonly


    used while ascending or
    descending stairways and
    escalators in order to
    prevent injurious falls or to
    hold necessities. Handrails
    are typically supported by
    balusters or attached to
    walls.
