Obstacles that are voluntarily placed along a building line into an accessible path of travel positioned near entrances to premises or over accessible orientation and mobility aids like Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs) are physical barriers to persons with disabilities.

Placed obstacles make it difficult for a person with a disability to know where they are and where they are going and be confident about their orientation.

These placed obstacles can create additional stress through the uncertainty of a person's safety along the direction of travel within a public built environment.
