Temporary signs intended to assist the visually impaired have missed the mark with the use of un-raised braille.
The signs have been installed at the Aotea Centre, an Auckland Live venue in Central Auckland, and appear to include braille - except the dots have been printed on a flat surface.
Braille is a tactile writing system used by people who are visually impaired. It is traditionally written with embossed paper.
A visitor to the events centre took to Twitter to express their dismay, writing, "Congrats to Auckland Live on having braille on your signs, however, it is only printed on and not actually raised at all! So invisible to a blind person."
