Abstract

There is increasingly more emphasis placed on accommodating the most vulnerable road users, pedestrians, in road design. Within this road user group there are several subgroups, all of which have unique needs. RTS 14 is a Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA) publication, first produced in 1997, that provides guidance on installing pedestrian facilities for people with vision impairment. The two facilities recommended by RTS 14 are tactile ground surface indicators (TGSI) and audible tactile traffic signals (ATTS). This paper examines the first revision of RTS 14, detailing key points of content as well as changes and additions from the first publication.
