Phase 4 Example

PHASE 4 SIMULATION - NEIGHBORHOOD
NOTE: No images of persons with disabilities appear in these simulations.
Mike is both visually impaired and hearing impaired. He attends regular classes at his neighborhood middle school. Mike is interested in a number of extracurricular activities.This means he may be traveling home alone, after school hours, and on different days of the week. Mike's team has identified four possible routes that Mike could use.

Route 1 - Click to Enlarge ROUTE 1
Mike has taken Route #1 with friends. It's the shortest route. However, Mike could get lost if traveling alone and isn't allowed to go this way after dark.
Route 2 - Click to Enlarge ROUTE 2
Mike could walk this route alone. He wouldn't have to cross streets, but would need extra time to get home. However, Mike may resist this path because of its odd and roundabout makeup.
Route 3 - Click to Enlarge ROUTE 3
This is the most straightforward route. However, Mike would have to cross two streets--one of which would never be monitored by a crossing guard.
Route 4 - Click to Enlarge ROUTE 4
The longest route, but the most familiar. Mike currently goes this way to and from school because crossing guards are present at both streets. However, guards may not be present when after school activities end.
