When I saw the entrance and exit of the parking lot, I saw what it was like for the visually impaired...

<Anchor>

There are still many places where blind people cannot safely navigate.

A typical blind spot is the entrance and exit of a building parking lot where many cars go, and reporter Han Ji-yeon covered it.

<Reporter> This

is the entrance and exit road of a large department store in Seoul.

Cars come and go, but only crosswalks that the general public can see are drawn.

There are no braille blocks installed to allow visually impaired people to recognize entry and exit routes, and there are no alarms to inform vehicle entry and exit.

[Dong-Jun Lim/Blind person: It's not a small hole shop, it's a big department store, but I thought it would sound like (alarm).

There is no braille block, and I think it was too hard

.

That's all there is a stake installed to prevent vehicles from entering the sidewalk.

Welfare center for the disabled, the situation is worse.

The sidewalk and parking lot are directly connected, but there are no devices to protect the blind.

[Dong-Jun Lim/Blind person: It could take her life.

I could die.

I have a lot of such fear...

(Usually too) I feel a lot of danger.]

Consumers looked at 100 locations in the parking lot of buildings in the metropolitan area, and more than half of them did not have braille blocks at all, and half of them were defective.

[Jeong Byung-il / Visually impaired activity supporter: It means that this is a little too old.

(People with disabilities) can't recognize it.

There is a lot of old, but mana...

More than half of the places where there are no alarms or not working properly.

Consumer Agency plans to propose to relevant ministries to improve the entrance and exit routes of buildings and to establish detailed standards for access alarm systems.
