Lack of Traffic Lights
Hi the Miniguide is a handheld device that is very small which you can
scan for objects and either feel vibration in your hand, or hear with an
earphone. I use it for many things on the street not easily found.
Also great for overhead objects. Nice for traffic lights, construction,
and buildings where you aren't certain where things are placed.
Counting doorways etc. You can get one from The American Printing
House. That's where I got mine. There must be other distributors, but
I'm unsure of that.
