To Whom It Concerns:
My letter addresses the proposed changes to the Guidelines for Accessible
Pedestrians Rights of Way. I write as a blind person to oppose the universal
installation of audible traffic signals.
These signals are simply unnecessary at every crossing. In fact, they can pose a
danger as they make it more difficult to hear cars turning. Spending money on
these signals given our economic situation at this time defies common sense. It
makes much more sense to install special expensive signals on a case-by-case
basis where they are beneficial rather than extraneous or outright dangerous.
Feel free to contact me personally with questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Lois Montgomery
