Your traffic light turns green. A pedestrian who uses a white cane has started to cross the street in front of you, although the pedestrian signal shows DON'T WALK. What should you do?
A faces a green traffic light while a person with a white cane has started crossing in front of it. Separate details show A’s green lamp, the pedestrian’s orange-hand DON’T WALK signal and the white cane.
Correct answer: Stay stopped and yield until the person has finished crossing the street.
Why
The law covers a cane that is white, metal, or white with a red tip, and a pedestrian with a guide dog. Only people who are blind or visually impaired may use such a cane on a street, so treat it as a clear sign that the person may not see you. Stay stopped and quiet until the person is safely across.
