Interesting question, but sight is only one sense, and it's hard to imagine without... I take curious interest at times in watching people, I've watched blind people navigate sidewalks, they know the beginning and end just as well as the person with sight. As you learned to find what taught how you to deal with the world, they did? (It's the obvious one ~ and I'm not doubting the obstacles as this world is designed by those who have sight, mostly...)

@Entwistle depends on your definition of "blind", doesn't it?
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@SW-User No it depends upon reality,not someone's definition.
Do you have something against people with disabilities?

@Entwistle If you can see, you are not blind by most people's understanding, although I understand that you may be legally blind. And you are not the kind of blind person I am curious about in this post. As for having anything against people with disabilities, that doesn't relate to anything I've said, and just makes you sound like you want to pick a fight. But I'm not interested in fighting.

To be honest, it has me also. I mean some signs have typical placements or can be found fairly easily I'm sure but other times I really have to question their efficacy. I know when it comes to wheelchairs there are some setups that, while just barely ADA compliant, they are still pretty worthless or difficult for the wheelchair bound to use. It's maddening!

@SlaveEt yes it may just be token gestures that don't really help anyone :(

There are routine placements in an orientation to another part of the sign they might not know the sign is even there but again such signs are placed in familiar similar places.

Using a right sided wall approach, they scan all walls with their hands till they find the signs and take note of what is written each time.

Also, does braille come in different languages or is it it's OWN language?

SW-User
@Punches I think it is like an alphabet, so it could be used in different languages?

@SW-User Possibly, I hope I never have to learn.

The radial arm saw at Home Depot has instructions in Braille on it.

I don't know, but the most terrifying thing to read in Braille has got to be "Danger: do not touch."
