ABSTRACT
In this study, a new application of tactile paving, street-crossing tactile paving, was proposed for street-crossing locations. The study aims to identify the characteristics considered by people with visual impairment in their effectiveness evaluation of the street-crossing tactile paving. Data were analyzed by structural equation model. The results show that normalization has a highly positive effect on safety and guidance of the street-crossing tactile paving, both of which have a direct impact on the effectiveness of street-crossing tactile paving. Non-motorized vehicles are one of the biggest threat for people with visual impairment when crossing the street.
