A person walking with a white cane steps off the curb to cross in front of you. There is no marked crosswalk. What should you do?
A approaches a person using a white cane who has stepped off the curb. No crosswalk stripes are painted on the street; an enlarged detail makes the cane visible.
Correct answer: Stop and take every step needed to keep the person safe.
Why
A white or metallic cane, with or without a red tip, or a guide dog tells you the person may be blind or have limited vision. New Mexico's White Cane Law gives these pedestrians access to all roads and sidewalks, and a driver who fails to take the needed precautions is liable for any injury. Stop, wait quietly, and let the person finish crossing before you move.
