 CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION

• HOW DO BLIND PEOPLE FIND CROSSWALKS?

 ANSWER

• ACOUSTIC TRAFFIC SIGNALS MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND A CROSSWALK. WHEN

THEY CAN BE ACTIVATED FROM A DISTANCE BY A REMOTE OR SMARTPHONE,
SUCH SIGNALS ALLOW VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE TO EASILY LOCATE A
PEDESTRIAN CROSSING. THEY JUST NEED TO FOLLOW THE SOURCE OF THE
SOUND.

• SIGNAGE IS ANY KIND OF VISUAL DISPLAY USED TO CONVEY INFORMATION. FOR
EXAMPLE, INFORMATIONAL BUSINESS SIGNS CAN HELP PEOPLE MAKE
