Braille on Station Railings


I went through several stations today without the big camera. I noticed that most of the railings on staircases had Braille on them. My mobile telephone doesn't take very distinct pictures, so I looked through my archives. I found this picture. I took it a long time ago, but I didn't post it. Click on the labels below to see more aids for the blind.

you have such a good eye! from the smallest detial like this to bigger things like the solar panels. i got the sense they are unusual and perhaps a fad from an earlier era? (the solar panels not the braille.) i remember all the crosswalks and sidewalks set-up for blind and disabled people in japan but ironically, we never saw any on the street.
