Purposes for people with sight impairment for that strip. Even though black, people like it to know where to lineup, its not for their convenience and we will communicate that in another way. We are also expanding the directional bars. Right now its 1 foot by four 4foot, we are making it 3foot by 4foot. Because usually people are lined up in front.
