white canes
Mobility tools, sightless
White canes are mobility aids used by people who are blind or visually impaired.
The cane detects obstacles and changes in terrain while signaling to others that the user has a visual impairment.
A white cane with a red tip is an internationally recognized symbol: Drivers must yield to pedestrians with white canes.
