People who are blind or who have low vision face some similar obstacles when going to or through facilities.
Common Problem: Protruding Objects
Ø Objects such as pay telephones and drinking fountains can cause injury to people who are blind or who have low vision if the objects protrude into walkways and are positioned so they cannot be detected by someone using a cane.
In "high-low" drinking fountain configurations, the "high" fountain often protrudes into a walkway and is not detectable by someone who is blind and who uses a cane. The fountains shown in this photograph are recessed into an alcove to avoid the potential for injury.
