N2  - Few engineers and planners understand how a blind person navigates through the urban infrastructure they create. Shared surface areas have no safe footways for the blind and can be very disorientating, especially when the navigation markers used by the blind are moved or missing. This is written from the perspective of a blind engineer, and it enables the reader to imagine what being a pedestrian without sight is like.    <p>Lang: Eng</p>
