Module D - Slide 23
All three of these variables increase the probability that a blind traveler will be crossing at this intersection:
- Transit facility which can include bus stops or transit stations, with more points given for more facilities;
- Facility for visually impaired such as a school for the blind or a rehabilitation center serving individuals who are blind; and,
- Major pedestrian attractor such as shopping areas, educational campuses, recreational areas and medical facilities.
So points are given for each of these, with no points for no transit stop, 1 point for 1 bus route at the intersection, 3 points for multiple bus routes and 5 points for a transit station. More points are given for a facility for the visually impaired depending on proximity. Same with major pedestrian attractors. Major pedestrian attractor is not quantitatively defined; that definition may vary in different areas. Determining that might be a task to consider with your advisory group.
