While walking near Koshien Stadium, I spotted a sidewalk that felt very Tigers-like

The tactile paving blocks have black borders, and don’t they kind of look like the Tigers colors? 😀

You can also check it out on Street View↓↓

Since it’s around Koshien, I got excited thinking, “Maybe they made it look like Tigers colors on purpose??”

But then…

The road in front of Life in Naruo also has clear borders.

This is Route 171, and it has borders too.

This is National Route 2, and the borders are properly there as well~

Looks like it wasn’t just around Koshien Stadium after all.Sorry for being so clueless

 

Still, the borders here are darker, so they really do look like Tigers colors to me.

Why are tactile paving blocks outlined like this? I was curious, so I looked it up.

Apparently, the dark borders make the tactile paving blocks easier to see for people with low vision.

People with visual impairments use tactile paving through the feel of a cane or their feet, while people with low vision tend to use the blocks by relying on their remaining eyesight. That’s why the borders are added to make the blocks easier to see.
