10 October 2008 [17:20] - TODAY.AZ
About 30 sound traffic lights for blinds have been installed in Baku, said chairman of the Society of Blind People Samyar Abdullayev.
He said these traffic lights will help blind people to cross the road in safe conditions under support of the head office of the state road police.

Abdullayev noted that it is planning to raise the number of the traffic lights in the near future.

The chairman of the society noted that sometimes there are technical problems with such traffic lights.

"Blind people often do not hear the sound of these traffic lights, therefore, we want them to meet international standards completely".

Abdullayev stressed the need to install the sound traffic lights at the constructed roads.
