People with vision impairments or wheelchairs can't - so directing them to crosswalks with kerb cuts/slopes and assisted signals (sounds, etc) sounds like the proper thing to do. As long as we map the crosswalks and map a sidewalk's route across the road (regardless of if there is a marked signal controlled crosswalk) then it should be possible to route people across the streets where there is a road that crosses a street w/o a crosswalk, right? It would be better to have people walk 1/2 a block longer and use the crosswalks then having them try to jump across a road. Perhaps there is some radius we can use -if there is no junction within 100m of the goal point which allows the walkway to cross the road, then suggest that the walker attempt to cross the road if they feel safe. Routes on bridges/embankments/tunnels or separated by a barrier would continue to be routed normally.
