  Hi Julie and Everyone,
  I don't know how the new audible lights are in NYC but I can share how they are here in Suffolk County on Long Island. Just today I demonstrated one to a consumer and his father on the corner where my agency is. 
  When we got outside I was talking to them explaining which way we are going to walk when we get out of the parking lot. I said to the blind person where is your cane. in my bag. I said take it out and start counting your steps from the door here to where I am taking you to where the audible light is. I was glad the father said I was right the person should be using a cane and not taking the parents arm. I explained if you don't practice everyday you won't have good skills. the father complained that the person has poor direction . I said even sighted people have poor sence of direction so you can't blame blindness. This person still has some sight. they were impressed how fast I walked with Anna. The audible street lights in Suffolk make a chirping noise so you know where there is one on a corner. then you push the button , it tells you what street and cross street your on , tells you wait and then starts counting down from 17 to 0 giving you that time to cross the street when its safe. 
  Marilyn and Anna
