Just because somebody says it here -- it doesn't necessarily mean that this our official policy.  I agree that some people may not realize or understand that our position has shifted, and is more nuanced than anyone is admitting.

When I tell you that the NFB organized protests against the Access Board recommendations on accessible signals and the they said they make blind pedestrians less safe, you heard "against them". But that's not what I said.

I have 2 very specific complaints with the NFB's position on accessible signals. first is that They organized protests against the Access Board recommendations in 2001. Secondly, they have been saying that accessible signals make blind pedestrians less safe. I've provided links to Braille Monitor articles supporting thos claims.
