| Research Abstract |
The authors tried to develop Flat Escorting Line, "FEL", whose surface is flat and which shows the visually disabled the direction to move with the difference of the feel of road surface materials. The developed FEL is the block 300mm square, made of rubber chips and urethane resin. The block can be used with existing pavement blocks. The block is effective as "catch blocks" for the visually disabled, rarely be the barrier for non-users.
