common areas should be designed in accordance with the zoning
scheme in a different tactile and visual design. Additional fixtures
such as lampposts should not be placed on the paths but on the green
areas or on a side strip recognisable for visual and tactile perception

transition
between path and vegetation/ common area is recognisable as a
guiding line.

There are two types of ground profiles:

ribbed slabs as guidance strips within paths and for

orientation in the surrounding space or to show direction
studded slabs to indicate hazardous situations, as
hazard warning surfaces or to indicate situations
requiring a decision.

For safety reasons, ground surface indicators may not be

installed on streets and roads.
