Please be aware that the need for audible traffic signals is a
legitimate request from individuals who are striving to be independent. The idea
of independence is not placing ourselves in unnecessary dangers as we travel but
is to allow blind individuals to be confident and safe as we live vital active
lives. The ideal is for sighted and blind to work together to enrich the
accomplishments of one another and not to compete on an very uneven playing
field. As technology advances than the right move is to utilize the available
resources to provide protection and enhanced audio information to adults and
children who want to be contributors to their communities. Thank you for your
serious considerations about the essential nature of the audible traffic
signals.
