I would like to register my strong support for both detectable warnings at train platforms and accessible pedestrian signals at busy vehicular intersections. Having already been hit once as a blind pedestrian, I can vouch in a very real and personal way for the fear and, sometimes, panic, that I experience when crossing busy intersections. Thankfully, my town has recently installed accessible pedestrian signals at three local intersections, but many, many more are needed.
