A local citizen captured a video showing the tactile paving peeling off like a sticker, prompting swift official clarification in central China.

Video filmed in Puyang City in Henan Province on December 3, shows two yellow tactile paths on the road tiles being easily lifted, revealing dried glue and leaving behind a sticky residue.

In response to the uproar, the Puyang Municipal Housing and Urban-Rural Development Department stepped forward with an explanation. They clarified that the tactile paths were not mere stickers as rumoured, but were made of PVC - a material known for its sensitivity to touch, corrosion resistance, and durability.

The choice of PVC was necessitated by the road's upgrade, which involved the use of granite tiles unsuitable for traditional cement tactile bricks.

The department acknowledged that some sections of the tactile path had issues like curling corners and hollow spaces. They attributed these defects to uneven application of adhesive, vehicle pressure, and the uneven surface of the granite tiles.

Acting swiftly, the Puyang Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development organised overnight repairs. The fallen PVC tactile tiles were to be cleaned, reapplied and those poorly bonded were to be replaced.

,12月3日，河南濮阳，新修不久的道路上，盲道竟然像贴纸样式，一撕就掉。目击市民拍摄的视频显示，道路的地砖上贴有两条黄色的盲道，她蹲下后，随手拿起其中一片，背面的胶水已经干了，地砖上还留有被粘黏过的印记，仅有一层皮，像贴纸一样，一撕就掉。
12月4日，河南省濮阳市住建部门回应称，他们在道路提升改造中，选用了触觉灵敏、耐腐蚀、耐损耗的PVC材质盲道砖，并非大家传的“贴纸”。因路面提升改造使用了花岗岩，不再适合铺设水泥砖盲道，因此采用了被广泛应用的新型材料。针对部分路段出现翘角、空鼓情况，当地住建部门说，主要是因为黏合剂涂抹不均匀、车辆碾压、花岗岩地砖不平整等原因所致。濮阳市住建局组织施工单位连夜整改，对脱落的PVC盲道砖基层进行清扫、补贴，对黏结不牢的进行逐一排查、更换，预计12月4日18时前整改完毕。
