How about this, blind people ONLY use crosswalks... Don't they already have something setup to notify blind people when to go?
Crosswalks work, sometimes.
But ONLY in the city. Many blind people rely on seeing-eye dogs to get around. These dogs need to HEAR your vehicle approaching just like the blind person does. Otherwise, confusion (and potential catastrophe) results.
Remember, ANY accident with a pedestrian is likely to hurt/maim/kill that pedestrian. It doesn't take much speed at all.
