Individuals may use different techniques depending on their personal preference, their level of vision, and the travel environment. Most people use whatever information is available. As you saw in the video, traffic provides a lot of the information needed. With some of the complex signalization and geometry, and at crossings where there is low traffic volume beside the crosswalk, traditional street crossing techniques are not as effective as when they were developed 50 years ago. We’ll talk in the next slides about each street crossing task and the information used by pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired.
