Abstract

The difficulties experienced by visually impaired pedestrians at signalized intersections are addressed by the Institute of Transportation (ITE). The members of the Association for Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired were surveyed to document the nature and causes of the difficulties. The survey asked questions about several potential categories of difficulties which include knowing when to begin crossing, crossing straight across the street, and using pushbuttons. The results of the survey are being used to plan a toolbox on making intersections more accessible.
