First task is detecting the street, answering the question: Have I arrived at the street?

Numerous cues are used by pedestrians who are blind or visually impaired to indicate the edge of the street. These include the curb or slope of the curb ramp, the end of a building and open sound at an intersection. As noted earlier, traffic on the street beside them and traffic on the street in front of them that they may be crossing provides an idea of the street location. Other cues may include the presence of other pedestrians or an intersecting sidewalk. Curb or detectable warnings/truncated domes installed at the edge of the street are usually a reliable indicator or the street.
