MOTORCYCLES parked on the sidewalk outside Rafflesia condominium in Bandar Baru Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, hinder blind pedestrians from using the tactile paving installed. “It is very disappointing that people are oblivious to the facilities provided for the blind,” Firdaus said. ACTIONLINE:Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) said it would increase enforcement in the area to ensure a smooth pathway for the blind. The spokesman added that tactile warning provided a distinctive surface pattern to alert the blind of approaching streets and hazardous surfaces. “We have also informed residents with motorcycles to park responsibly and not over the tactile pavements,” he said.
