BLIND PEDESTRIANS
PLAN TO GIVE GREATER PROTECTION SIGN TO MOTORISTS A suggestion for the protection ol? blind people in crossing roads has come from the Auckland Automobile Association. It consists simply of the elevation of one hand by the blind person. The suggestion was forwarded by the association to the Jubilee Institute of the Blind and the inmates of the
institution are all in favour of th-3 proposal. The association hopes that blind people will adopt the signal and efforts will be made to secure knowledge of the sign among motorists. Up to now there has been no recognised signal among blind people when they cross roads. Officials at the Blind Institute consider that a universal sign will provide a great degree of safety.
