Madison supports white cane safety day Today
By Local Madison news desk
Today, the City of Madison supports White Cane Safety Day, a nationally recognized day that highlights the rights of those with visual impairments.
The City reminds everyone that the Wisconsin White Cane Law requires drivers to stop at least ten feet from a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog.
The City of Madison is dedicated to ensuring public spaces are accessible to all, according to Kevin Luecke, Pedestrian & Bicycle Administrator, who said “Madison streets, sidewalks, and paths should be safe for all users, no matter their ability,” and “The City is dedicated to ensuring that our public spaces are accessible to all.”
