Model of an intersection for the blind

pinshape

This model was designed to help blind people navigate roads and intersections. They would be able to feel around the intersection, becoming aware of the obstacles that are at an intersection or on a road. There are open doors at a shop, a park bench, a stop sign, a curb, a median, 2 stop lights, a guard rail, an open window and a billboard. This model also allows them to feel where the crosswalk lines are in comparison to the road and where the cross walk button is located. The arrow in the road will allow them to know which way traffic is flowing. I would have printed this model, but my printer is temporarily out of order due to technical difficulties.  It would take 17.5 hours at a layer hight of 0.1 using PLA.
