Hi
I'm wondering whether anyone has come across the concept of lead-lines? This seems to be the idea of including cues within the built environment that visually impaired people are able to pick up on to assist with navigation and wayfinding - they might be lines or they might be other sorts of cues. I'm doing some research to try to identify particular examples of good practice, and/or examples of where design guidance suggests or promotes the use of lead lines. Any pointers gratefully received.
Best wishes
Bryan
