Okay, then. Let's expand this argument to the greater disability community.
There are many reasons why audio signals and self-actuated traffic light
controls are good for the public.
First, they help regulate the flow traffic more equitably at intersections.
Without such regulation, most intersections in the city get crowded which
confuses and ultimate slows the jam of traffic.
Second, the sighted public already uses such self-actuating traffic control
buttons to givethemselves
what they by law have, the right pass at the demarkated time. Are blind people
more special than that? No. The consumer organization to which I proudly belong
focuses on accommodation and cooperation, using the means thaht will help the
mainstream public and the blindness community alike adapt to our common needs.
Thirdly, with that said, adding audio sound to an already existing and
self-actuating traffic control system does not cost much more money at all.
And, as far cost goes, it’s great if government can be smaller, more
streamlined, and more efficient. So, as much as cost is a factor,
prioritization at the local level is the real issues here.
