Why this phrase

The yellow tactile paving is 点字ブロック, a guidance path for blind travellers read through a shoe or a white cane. Round dots mean stop, something's ahead; long bars mean carry on this way. Tourists park roller bags on it, stand on it to check maps, and queue across it. One word to recognise, one habit to fix, and Kofuku admits he walked on it for a year first.
