True it is not specifically a blindness issue, the New York City
crossing scheme  but considering someone may have to cross the
interesction three times to get to where they used to be able to
go in jut one crossing, it can be a major inconvenience,
especially for people with fairly limited mobility skills.
Actually while in New York City I found most of their streets
fairly easy to cross as they have long light cycles and generally
plenty of parallel traffic to let you gauge the start of the
light cycle.
And most of theri streets are little four lane jobs.  When i was
in Toronto we seemed to have an awful lot of 5 lane an up
crossings, and a few 8 and ten lane crossings with four way
signals.  darn close to the corners from hell itself.
... If it wasn't for C, we would be using BASI, PASAL and OBOL!
