Product Overview

The i-glo FLEXI-TACT Cycle Tactiles from IPL group provide a comprehensive safety system for shared pathways by creating clear tactile boundaries between pedestrian and cycling zones. The innovative design features distinctive bar patterns installed in different orientations—transverse bars across pedestrian travel direction and longitudinal bars along cyclist travel direction—delivering unmistakable underfoot feedback about which zone is which. Installed to a recommended depth of 2400mm across the full width of both pathways, these tactiles create a consistent and reliable navigation system for visually impaired individuals. Available in contrasting colours, Flexi-tact Cycle Tactiles significantly improve safety in shared spaces by guiding all users to their appropriate pathway, reducing collision risks, and creating more accessible public environments.

Key Benefits

• Dual-Orientation Bar System: Creates distinct tactile experiences that guide users to appropriate path sides, providing clear underfoot feedback for both pedestrians and cyclists.
• Full-Width Installation Design: Ensures complete coverage across both pedestrian and cycle tracks for consistent and reliable wayfinding.
• Enhanced Zone Recognition: Contrasting colour options enhance visual differentiation between pedestrian and cycle zones for partially sighted users.
• Integrated Segregation Solution: Reduces collision risks between pedestrians and wheeled traffic through clear delineation, improving overall safety in shared spaces.
• High Safety Compliance: Achieves a Pendulum Test Value of 58 PTV, exceeding the HSE recommended minimum of 36 PTV, indicating a low slip probability (less than 1 in 1 million).
