title: Nonvisual Cues for Aligning to Cross Streets.
abstract: Accurately aligning to the crosswalk is an important component of safe street crossing for pedestrians who are blind. Six alignment cues were evaluated in a simulated crosswalk environment in which crosswalk angle was not always in line with ramp slope. The effectiveness of each cue is reported and implications are discussed.
