At the Station 2: Lines for the Blind

These are the stairs leading to the train platform. Note the red and white markers along the side. They are raised strips for people who are blind, but they also reflect light in case the lights go out in the station. The yellow strip at the bottom of the stairs is for blind people to follow to find the stairs. They can also follow them to find the exits when they are coming down the stairs. There are raised stripes on it so they can feel where to go.


Blind people can follow the yellow strip up the stairs. There are three squares of raised dots that signal to them to stop. There is a yellow strip along the platform of raised dots. It is a signal to stop and not go beyond the line.


The train will stop and the door will open at the squares of raised dots. That is where a blind person will most likely be standing to catch the train.
