Disclosed is a stamp for forming a tactile-detectable warning surface in moldable concrete or asphalt and method for employing same. The stamp consists of a mold member having truncated dome shaped indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern, each indentation optionally having an air hole located centrally therein, and, form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold member and projecting downward there from, so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material to form truncated domes. The stamp may further comprise one or more handles and upper rails distributed on the upper surface of the mold member.

The invention claimed is: 1. A stamp for forming a tactile-detectable warning surface in a moldable material, comprising: a. a mold member substantially planar in form and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a plurality of indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern, and, b. a plurality of form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold member, projecting downward there from and bracketing each of said indentations on two or more sides so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material. 2. The stamp as in claim 1, wherein the form rails are distributed between indentations so as to bracket each of said indentations on two or more sides. 3. The stamp as in claim 1, wherein each indentation comprises an air hole located centrally therein in communication with the upper surface. 4. The stamp as in claim 1, wherein the indentations are shaped so as to form truncated domes on the surface of the moldable material. 5. The stamp as in claim 1, wherein the moldable material is selected from the group consisting of concrete and asphalt. 6. The stamp as in claim 1, further comprising one or more handles affixed to the upper surface of the mold member. 7. The stamp as in claim 1, further comprising a plurality of upper rails distributed on the upper surface of the mold member and extending upward there from. 8. A stamp for forming a tactile-detectable warning surface in a moldable material, comprising: a. a mold member substantially planar in form and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a plurality of indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern; b. a plurality of form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold member, projecting downward there from and bracketing each of said indentations on two or more sides so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material; and, c. one or more handles affixed to the upper surface of the mold member. 9. The stamp as in claim 8, wherein the form rails are distributed between indentations so as to bracket each of said indentations on two or more sides. 10. The stamp as in claim 8, wherein each indentation comprises an air hole located centrally therein in communication with the upper surface. 11. The stamp as in claim 8, wherein the indentations are shaped so as to form truncated domes on the surface of the moldable material. 12. The stamp as in claim 8, wherein the moldable material is selected from the group consisting of concrete and asphalt. 13. The stamp as in claim 8, further comprising a plurality of upper rails distributed on the upper surface of the mold member and extending upward there from. 14. A stamp for forming a tactile-detectable warning surface in a moldable material, comprising: a. a mold member substantially planar in form and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a plurality of indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern, each indentation comprising an air hole located centrally therein in communication with the upper surface; b. a plurality of form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold member, projecting downward there from and bracketing each of said indentations on two or more sides so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material; and, c. one or more handles affixed to the upper surface of the mold member. 15. The stamp as in claim 14, wherein the form rails are distributed between indentations so as to bracket each of said indentations on two or more sides. 16. The stamp as in claim 14, wherein the indentations are shaped so as to form truncated domes on the surface of the moldable material. 17. The stamp as in claim 14, wherein the moldable material is selected from the group consisting of concrete and asphalt. 18. The stamp as in claim 14, further comprising a plurality of upper rails distributed on the upper surface of the mold member and extending upward there from so as to increase rigidity of the mold member. 19. A method for forming a tactile-detectable warning surface in a moldable material, the method comprising: a. providing a stamp, the stamp comprising: i. a mold member substantially planar in form and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a plurality of indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern, and, ii. a plurality of form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold, member projecting downward there from and bracketing each of said indentations on two or more sides so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material; b. applying a release agent to the stamp and to an area of the moldable material to be stamped; c. placing the stamp on the area of moldable material to be stamped when the moldable material is prepared to a consistency appropriate to stamping; d. working the form rails downward into the moldable material; and, e. removing the stamp from the surface of the moldable material. 20. A method for forming a tactile-detectable waming surface in a moldable material, the method comprising: a. providing a stamp, the stamp comprising: i. a mold member substantially planar in form and having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface having a plurality of indentations distributed therein in a warning pattern, each indentation comprising an air hole located centrally therein in communication with the upper surface; ii. a plurality of form rails distributed between indentations on the lower surface of the mold member, projecting downward there from and bracketing each of said indentations on two or more sides so as to force an even and consistent distribution of the moldable material into the indentations when the form rails are worked downward into the surface of the moldable material; and, iii. one or more handles affixed to the upper surface of the mold member; b. applying a release agent to the stamp and to an area of the moldable material to be stamped; c. placing the stamp on the area of moldable material to be stamped when the moldable material is prepared to a consistency appropriate to stamping; d. working the form rails downward into the moldable material until a portion of the moldable material is visible at each air hole; and, e. removing the stamp from the surface of the moldable material by lifting up on the one or more handles.
