Ch. 2 · Pedestrian Conduct

Which of the following is the correct color for canes carried by people who are blind or have visual impairments?

[Multiple choice · Medium]

A.White or red
B.White or yellow✓
C.Yellow or red
D.White only

Answer: B: White or yellow

Explanation

Article 1 of the Rules of the Road clearly states "carry a white or yellow cane," so the cane colors are white or yellow. Red or other colors are not mentioned in the text and are therefore incorrect.

Momoka

I think white or red, since red stands out more for visibility?

Hikari

Nope, the correct answer is white or yellow. Those are the only two colors the rules mention for canes.

Momoka

Oh, so red isn't even an option in the rules?

Hikari

Right. Stick to white or yellow—anything else isn't in the text, so it's wrong on the test.
