[Ct-nfb] The Federationist

[Elizabeth Rival]

Hi Susan, the Pedestrian act was passed because we work every year in
Washington and I believe it took 3 years to pass this bill in D.C. Anyway,
the problem now is that the quiet cars on the road already don't have to go
back to the dealer to have a noise cd put in so we can hear them. But we
have made progress for the cars that aren't on the road yet. In Plainville,
they have opened 18 electric stations to re charge your quiet cars. I have 3
on my street. Stay safe and help us make a difference for the future of the
blind children. Beth Rival

Hi Susan,

 

Here is a link with more information but basically as a blind person, I
listen before I cross.  Electric cars are very quiet and silent cars are
dangerous and are difficult to detect making it difficult to judge
independent crossings.  The law looks like its going to make noise a
requirement.

I read the article, "The President signs the Pedestrian Safety Act".  No
details were given.  I have no idea what this act entails or means.  My son
is blind.  At the risk of appearing ignorant, because I am, What does this
mean?

 

Blessings,

Sue H.
