Product Overview

The i-glo FLEXI-TACT SIGNAGE Photoluminescent Tactile Signs from IPL group create safer shared environments by clearly delineating spaces between pedestrians and cyclists/wheelers. This innovative system incorporates specialised Flexi-tact Tactile Signage on both sides of the path—with cycle and scooter symbols on the wheeler side, and pedestrian symbols on the footway side—providing unmistakable guidance for visually impaired individuals. The system's remarkable glow-in-the-dark technology ensures 94% of visually impaired users can detect and interpret the signage even in poor lighting conditions. By establishing clear boundaries between different path users, this comprehensive tactile solution significantly reduces collision risks while promoting confident navigation for all, regardless of visual ability.

Key Benefits

• Clear Delineation & Enhanced Safety: Creates distinct tactile surface patterns that clearly differentiate between pedestrian and cycle/wheeler zones, significantly reducing collision risks in shared environments.
• Intuitive Guidance: Provides intuitive guidance for visually impaired users to identify the correct pathway, promoting confident navigation for all.
• Glow-in-the-Dark Capability: Ensures 94% of visually impaired people can detect and interpret signage even in low-light conditions, enhancing safety during dusk or night.
• Multi-Modal Indicators: Communicates designated areas for different transport methods (pedestrian, cycle, scooter) with clear symbols.
• Durable Construction: Flexi-tact construction maintains effectiveness and visibility despite heavy traffic and weather exposure.
• High Safety Compliance: Achieves a Pendulum Test Value of 55 PTV, significantly exceeding the HSE recommended minimum of 36 PTV, indicating a low slip probability (less than 1 in 1 million).
