Braille.


They seem to be really accommodating to the blind in Rio. All the supermarkets have braille tags on the foods, and even menus in restaurants-- they have a braille version. I'm especially impressed with living in Urca, where it seems like the stoplights were made thinking about someone who can't see (they buzz for you to cross the street). On the other hand, there's so much construction, I'm always nervous that the blind are going to trip and fall because they can't see what's going on.
