A blind intersection is a place where roads cross and do not provide a good field of view of the traffic about to cross your path. Thus, you enter the intersection "blind" to any approaching vehicles. This can be a very dangerous situation even at moderate driving speeds.
In California, a "blind intersection" is an intersection when you cannot see at least 100 ft in both directions on the intersecting road.
An intersection would be considered blind if you cannot see the cross traffic coming. This can happen if there is an obstruction in the way such as trees, bushes, a snowbank or other vehicles.
A blind intersection is an intersection where you can't see either the other cars or beyond the intersection. This is a situation where you need to be extra cautious.

Blind IntersectionsThe speed limit for a blind intersection is 15 mph. An intersection is considered "blind" if there are no stop signs at any corner and you cannot see for 100 feet in either direction during the last 100 feet before crossing. Trees, bushes, buildings, or parked cars at intersections can block your view to the side. If your view is blocked, edge forward slowly until you can see.

No. Blind means you can't SEE. Deaf means you can't HEAR.
