Serious question: How do blind people know where to find the braille?

Like, going through the airport, I noticed a sign in English, French, and braille. Awesome that it's there for blind people but how would they ever know it was there??

This has often puzzled me!

@Entwistle But if they have help from a sighted person, the sighted person could just read the sign to them.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Why should they expect the sighted person to read the written sign for them?
Not all blind people read or need braille.

@ServantOfTheGoddess I would think even if someone had an impairment, they would still want to be as independent as possible. Yeah there are some who would act completely helpless but others who refuse to let anything stand in the way of living an independent life.

No, but I am asking about those who do.

@ServantOfTheGoddess Got any answers that have satisfied you yet?

@Entwistle Not entirely.

@ServantOfTheGoddess I didn't think you would have.

@Entwistle I'd really like to hear from some blind people but I don't suppose they're reading this!
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@ServantOfTheGoddess I'm a blind person and I'm reading this.
You don't think all blind people have no sight at all do you?

@Entwistle depends on your definition of "blind", doesn't it?
Entwistle · 56-60, M
@ServantOfTheGoddess No it depends upon reality,not someone's definition.
Do you have something against people with disabilities?
ServantOfTheGoddess · 61-69, M
@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.
