Have you ever seen these yellow bumps on the ground when you are crossing streets, entering/leaving the grocery store or taking the train? Have you ever wondered what they were or why they were there?

They are called Truncated domes (AKA detectable warnings, tactile paving, detectable warning surfaces) are ground surface indicators designed to assist and warn pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired.

Truncated domes feature a unique pattern of cones that are easily detected by a cane or foot, alerting the visually impaired to the presence of a street or sudden drop-off.

Some of my students like to call it “Sidewalk Braille”, rightfully so!

Here is an article what more info if you are interested.
