USH Bit 4: Between You and the Chaos: Street Safety Tips for Low Vision

Navigating Indian city streets and narrow paths with low hearing and vision can be risky. Traffic is often dense, fast-moving, and chaotic. One helpful strategy is to keep an object—like a bag or a white cane—between you and the traffic. Drivers tend to avoid objects more than they avoid people.

Other Tips:

  • Walk during non-peak hours.

  • Avoid high-traffic roads.

  • Carry a white cane for both safety and visibility.

  • Walk slowly and deliberately—your companions should understand this.

  • Leave early to avoid rushing.
