Guidelines For Helping The Blind and Visually Impaired (Pt. 5 of 7)
Curbs and Roads
Here are some tips on helping blind and visually impaired people navigate curbs and roads:
- Don't take risks
- Tell your partner if you are about to step up or down over a curb; pause before stepping
- Approach the curb together with your partner, with you both facing the curb at an equal distance from it
- Cross the road using the shortest distance and go straight across it
- Tell your partner if you are leaving them after crossing the road; ensure they know which way they are facing
