Durable Pavements
The pavement quality of pedestrian paths plays a crucial role in ensuring safe and smooth navigation. Pavements must be stable, durable, and well-maintained to prevent hazards like uneven surfaces, which could hinder movement for people with mobility challenges.
- Ensure proper compaction of pavements (greater than 90%) to avoid instability.
- Ensure pavements are stable and allow safe pedestrian traffic without sinking or water stagnation.
- Pavements must meet durability and stability standards, with slip resistance for outdoor areas.
- Ensure continuous coverage without height differences greater than 4 mm between pavement sections.
- Textures must differ from tactile paving to avoid confusion.
- Ensure compatibility with other requirements, particularly in maintaining consistency with adjoining pavements.
