Abstract A crosswalk entrance is on the boundary of a roadway and is a dangerous area for visually impaired persons. Tactile walking surface indicators (TWSIs) are installed on the road to support independent travel for blind and low-vision individuals. We developed an LED block equipped with projections to strengthen support at the crosswalk entrance. Blind individuals can sense thiss block through the soles of their shoes. Results indicated that the LED block equipped with projections to locate travel direction effectively supports crossing. The effectiveness of this block is determined using measurement and questionnaire results.
