Checking Temporary Obstructions Along Tactile Routes
Temporary construction and operational obstructions should be reviewed against the approved accessible-route plan. A tactile surface left visible on the floor does not prove that the route remains usable while works are in progress.
Selection considerations
Identify work areas, temporary barriers, stored materials and equipment near the route. Have the responsible operations and design teams establish the required temporary arrangements. Do not invent a diversion by moving tactile components to a convenient nearby position.
Keep temporary route information connected to the building's communication and access procedures. Identify who inspects the arrangement and who authorises changes. Catalogue product descriptions do not establish the correct response to a specific obstruction or temporary closure.
When work is complete, check the permanent route and affected components against the accepted design before reopening. Record damage, replacements or changed finishes for the relevant review. Retain the temporary-work history where it helps explain later maintenance concerns.
Before you specify or order
- Review planned works against the route
- Use authorised temporary arrangements
- Assign inspection responsibility
- Check the permanent layout before reopening

Common question
Can visible tactile markings compensate for a blocked route?
No. The actual circulation arrangement needs review through the site's applicable access and operating procedures.
