Hi John,
No, no tactile warning surfaces on ramps, that is, not on ramps not
associated with LRT On-street stations. Tactile warning surfaces are
intended to indicate a change of level as in the case of steps.
Cheers.
John.

Subject: [ACCESSIBUILT] Tactile Corduroyd at Ramp tops
Hi,
Do we use tactile warning? We are resurfacing a ramp at a small but well
used park. There has been so much changing of minds over what should be
correct good practice. Some saying tactile surfaces should be placed at the
top of a ramp only and some saying both the top and bottom landings.
Recently, I have had wheelchair users indicating that they find it difficult
to cross tactile warning tiles and they should only be used at the upper
approach to steps. The good practice guidance I am looking at does not
specify any tactile warning for a ramp.
