A white cane is more than a mobility tool—it’s a symbol of independence for people with visual impairments. If you see someone using a white cane, remember these key points:
1. Don’t grab or push—ask if they need help before offering assistance.
2. Give space—allow enough room for them to navigate safely.
3. Respect crosswalk stops—a raised cane may signal their intent to wait.
For cane users: stay alert to environmental changes and practice routes regularly. White canes empower safe, confident travel—let’s work together to create a supportive, informed community!
