Whenever you see a person who is blind near a roadway, drive carefully and be prepared to stop. Often, a blind or partially blind person will raise their cane when uncertain of crossing the street safely. That is your signal to stop and give them the right-of-way. Learn to recognize a guide dog by its special harness which allows the person to hold on firmly. Don’t startle the animal by racing your engine or honking your horn.

If you drive a hybrid vehicle there may be no sound from your engine to let a blind person know that you are nearby. Exercise extreme caution in this situation
