I am writing to express my support for pedestrian signals and detectable
warnings in our nation's infrastructure. Although it is most certainly
impractical to provide signals at every crossing, there are definitely crossings
where they are crucially important for the safety of blind and/or deaf/blind
independent travelers. If you can think of intersections where you are
particularly appreciative of the Walk Signal, you should be able to imagine what
it would be like without that signal. Please do not be swayed by a vocal
minority of blind people whose false sense of pride compells them to object to
these signals for everybody. Just because they don't feel the need for the help
doesn't mean it isn't crucial to others.
Cordially,
Jeffrey Turner
