Explanation
Pedestrians using white canes or guide dogs are partially or totally blind, and must be given the right-of-way at all times. When approaching someone using a white cane or guide dog, stop and remain stopped until the person is well away from the roadway or path of travel. When these pedestrians are in your vicinity, be especially careful when turning corners or backing up. Do not use your horn as it could frighten the visually impaired pedestrian or guide dog.
