Blind people use a white cane to navigate. This cane allows blind people to know what things are in front of them. When stairs come, the cane falls to the second step, so the blind person knows that there is a drop in front of them. Canes also prevent blind people from walking into things, although it doesn't always work for me… He-he

Detectable Warning P...
White canes are used by the blind to navigate. Blind folks can see what is in front of them because of this cane. The cane falls to the second step when the steps appear, alerting the blind person that there is a drop in front of them.
Blind pedestrians must first determine when they arrive at a street. Usually, a combination of indications is used to achieve this, such as the ramp's slope or curb, traffic noises, and ADA Detectable warnings.

Why are people afraid when they can't see?
I want you to imagine that you are blind and standing at a busy intersection that spans four lanes. You can hear the traffic, but you can't see the light when it turns red or green. The city where you live has decided that a bell at the light for blind people to know when to walk/stop is too expensive to put in. This is what people who are blind face everyday. You are walking down the street and can not see the hazards that are in front of you. Some one has put their trash can out for pick up but you don't know that it is there. What do you do ? You need to go to the second floor of a building but there is no elevator and have to use the stairs. What do you do ? This is some of the challenges that people who are blind face.
