DETECTABLE WARNING.
A standardized surface feature built in or applied to walking surfaces or other elements to warn of hazards on a circulation path.
Advisory Definition of DETECTABLE WARNING. Curbs can be used by pedestrians with vision impairments to detect the boundary between a sidewalk and a vehicular way. Curb ramps remove the needed cues for persons with visual impairments; detectable warnings have been developed as a replacement cue and warning to indicate the presence of a vehicular way.◼
