The post added that in Wisconsin, the White Cane Law states that drivers are required to stop at least 10 feet or more from pedestrians who use white canes or service animals.
In addition, the Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act, signed in 2010, is a statute designed to ensure protection for the visually impaired while they cross streets.
Drivers are asked to do their part in keeping the roads safe by being attentive, avoiding distractions and watching for pedestrians.
