STOP LOOK? LISTEN
People with visual impairment may struggle to see things that you or I take for granted. Just because you can see them, doesn’t mean that they can see you.

People with visual impairment may struggle to see things that you or I take for granted. Many may rely on their hearing when crossing roads.

Shared spaces where the roads and pavements are at the same height and paved in similar colours can be a disorientating space for people with visual impairment to navigate. On Road Safety Week we ask all road users to take extra care within shared road spaces, and be aware of those pedestrians who may not see the need to STOP as pavement transitions into road space.
