Braille question
On the Canadian train I was on this morning, the signs in the bathroom were in English, French and Braille. Nice. But I actually don’t understand. How do the blind know that there’s a sign there in the first place? Are they supposed to run their hands over the walls of the bathroom looking for the “Please be courteous and leave this bathroom clean” sign? Or are the Braille signs for the partially sighted?
