[nagdu] crossing highways alone with your guide

[Darla Rogers]

Thank you for being so diligent and persistent, Marilyn; that is what we
must do to gain access to the same information sighted folks have and
another tool in our orientation and mobility toolbox.
Darla & Handsome, hard-working Huck

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
