This came up originally when developing tactile paving in co-operation
with the RNIB. The main source was ladies who quite justifiably wanted
to be fashionable. The sole of their shoes is thin, whereas many men use
a thick sole as part of their personal comfort. The raise on the
dimples is a compromise to try and ensure that the 'sign' can be felt
through thick soles, but it is not ideal.
It has cropped up from time to time since and no middle way found. The
grumbles are not confined to those with an impairment, due to a problem
I have I meet it myself, but have the 'advantage' of knowing why I
suffer.

Subject: [TCUG] Tactile paving
Hi All
Has anybody else had a problem with pedestrians claiming that tactile
paving causes them too much discomfort for them to be able to walk
across
it. This is the first time we've had this complaint although the
individual
tells us that it is a wide spread problem. Any thoughts?
Regards
