[nagdu] crossing highways alone with your guide

[t21114 at optonline.net]

Hi Rebecca,
I cross parkways and highways. On the parkway I have to concentrate on one side at a time. When I get to the medium I stand there and concentrate on the other side of the traffic flow. I don't cross at the light on this parkway. Its to dangerous with cars turning. 
I also cross Highways near my job and house . The parkway and Highway come together at an intersection. I haven't  crossed that highway this year but we just a few months ago got an Audible Pedestrian Signal there . I work very hard with others getting this signals put in.
Marilyn and Anna
