    AUDIBLE PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS

 

Did you ever wonder why those beeping boxes are attached to some
"Walk/Don't Walk" signposts?  They do more than enable pedestrians with
limited or no vision to know when it's safe to cross! 

 

Find out who decides on their location, how they work, and anything else
you want to know at a panel discussion with Charlie Crawford, Vice Chair
of the Montgomery County Commission on People with Disabilities; Patrick
Sheehan, advocate for the National Capitol Area Chapter of the American
Council of the Blind; and Bruce C. Mangum, Manager, Transportation
Systems Engineering, Montgomery County Department of Transportation.
