Donna Smith of Easter Seals Project Action shows how blind pedestrians navigate using a dog or a cane. She demonstrates navigating an intersection with turn phases and a delayed walk signal, a right turn lane with an island, a skewed intersection, construction barriers, and finding a mid-block bus stop.
