When a new design upgrade is implemented, any residual use or built features that encompass accessibility for a person with a disability must be removed if it is no longer required.

This video journal details a new bus stop structure where the TGSIs assist with the guidance for  a person with low vision to the information sign on the waiting platform, except for the fact that they have been relocated. 

As we will see, this may be okay if your direction of travel comes from the approach where the correct TGSIs are located. And it will be unfortunate if the redundant TGSIs installation is unknowingly selected.
