10 Braille Signs That Are More Useless Than Motorcycle Ashtrays
Braille signs - a tactile reading system based on a code developed by Frenchman Charles Barbier so that Napoleon's soldiers could communicate in silence and in the absence of light - should be meant to help the visually impaired, right? However, sometimes it happens that those who produce the alerts do not have much notion and certainly do not put themselves in the shoes of those who really need them, and the result is a lot of completely useless signals. The folks at Bored Panda have posted a list of examples recently, and we at Mega Curioso have put together some of the best for you to check out:
1 - The warning is to beware of the hot surface, but what is the probability that the visually impaired will burn before finding the alert?
2 - Why does only the 3rd floor have Braille text?
3 - The intention was to confuse?
4 - Only for the very tall
5 - Welcome? Oh really?
6 - It should indicate that this is a pool area, so think about the danger!
