ORLANDO, Fla. – Traffic safety campaigns occur in our area throughout the year. We have seen Florida Move Over awareness, pedestrian and bicycle safety, even strong DUI enforcement measures.
Trooper Steve on Patrol will attend a very interesting safety campaign and that is for our visually impaired.
Aimed at promoting accessibility for those living with visual loss as well as raising awareness of white cane law, which is covered by Florida statute 316.1301, the event will also cover pedestrian safety. Mobility specialists and volunteers will be out today to provide safety instructions and lead participants on a walk so they can see first-hand what it’s like.
Today’s stream will take place over at “Lighthouse Works” in Orlando and participants will be blindfolded and escorted across the roadway to get a first-hand experience and to raise awareness so we can all commute safely.
