Detectable Warning® Pavers

In response to the American Disabilities Act, Hanover® has been working with various government agencies and municipalities to design and provide a paver which would aid the partially sighted and blind pedestrian. The top surface has non-slip properties and raised truncated domes. These are readily detectable under foot, as well as by cane.

Persons with visual impairments depend upon environmental cues of potential hazards — ambient sounds and physical elements that can be sensed by a cane or texture changes underfoot. Any pedestrian area requiring the use of a detectable warning surface can utilize the Detectable Warning® Paver. The distinctively textured walking surface can help to warn pedestrians of an impending hazard on the route ahead.
