Tactile/braille lines in Breda
Breda has short tactile paving at bus stops, dangerous busy crossings or hazardous locations. These connect to a guide path, but do not form clear routes as everyone has a different destination. Natural guide paths also work well for a safe walking route, but do not indicate a route. Some places have been equipped with paths marked by guiding lines:
From the station to the city centre: A guiding line runs from the station through Willemstraat. This transitions into a combination of guiding and tactile paving through Park Valkenberg. The route continues over Kasteelplein with a combination of guiding and tactile paving, ending at Grote Markt.
At the City Hall: From the bus stop on Claudius Prinsenlaan, a tactile paving path leads to the entrance of the city hall.
At the Amphia Hospital: A combination of guiding and tactile paving leads from the parking garage and bus stop to the entrance of the hospital.
