How do blind people know where the braille is to be read?
In Edmonton, Alberta city hall they have locations where you can read braille and I wonder how would blind people know where it was?

What do you mean you can read braille there? Do you mean things that are on display? Or, they have a section of braille books?
The elevators, crosswalks and restrooms. Money in Canada has braille.
Oh. I think almost all newer elevators have braille, so they probably assume the elevator has it.
Maybe most restrooms in public buildings have it too? I don’t know. I haven’t paid attention.
While I can’t cite specifics, there are building codes for accessibility that call for consistent locations of Braille signage. There is also tactile flooring to guide visually impaired people.
If they’re in a particular building for the first time, they might not know specifically.
But, presumably they have a mouth and a functional voice box so they could just open their mouth and ask someone.
Blind people have been doing that for centuries :)
