I copied some information from the online drivers manual  related to visually impaired persons. I also provided the link should other scenarios be thought up that we might be able to refer to manual for what people are actually taught. Alice

Visually challenged persons

The law is very specific that vehicles must give their right-of-way when any of the following crosses any highway or intersection: blind persons who use a predominantly white or metallic cane, blind persons accompanied by a guide dog, or a guide dog instructor engaged in instructing a guide dog. A motorist must stop when he/she sees a person with a white or metallic “colored” cane or with a guide dog. All motorists must comply with this law (N.J.S.A. 39:4-37.1).
