|

|

Explanation
When a pedestrian with a white cane is ready to cross the street, they will usually take a step forward and extend their cane. If they take a step back and pull their cane, this usually means that they are not ready to cross and it is safe for you to proceed. Always be aware of your surroundings and be extra cautious when approaching a blind pedestrian, as they may not be able to detect your presence. Always yield the right-of-way and proceed with caution.
