Recently, with the influx of both road and building construction, it's been even more difficult for blind pedestrians to use their other senses to navigate New York City, according to the New York Times .
These residents navigate the city by relying on the mental discount one waycar rentals maps they've contrived and their other four senses. But lately, new bike lanes, pedestrian plazas, large construction discount one waycar rentals projects, and even quiet vehicles like hybrid cars and bicycles are throwing blind pedestrians for a loop when they try to cross what they think is a street.
Groups like Lighthouse and pedestrian safety group PASS Coalition have lobbied for more blind-friendly additions to NYC's streets, like accessible pedestrian signals discount one waycar rentals and bumpy warning strips at the end of sidewalks.
These efforts seem to be working. NYC transportation commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan told the NYT that the city has already installed these signals at "dozens of intersections," and there is a law now in place that requires a minimum of 25 signals to be installed each year.
