A motorist would reasonably expect a child to be <br />aware of the presence of the vehicle, even if the child were traveling in the same direction and had no <br />visual contact with the vehicle. However, the deaf child is totally unaware of the vehicle. While such <br />children must eventually learn to cope in a hearing world, it is reasonable to offer some degree of <br />protection while the child is developing coping skills. <br /> <br />For this reason, it shall be the policy of the City to post "Deaf Child Area" signs upon written request of <br />the parent. The request shall contain the child's age and certification (FROM A PHYSICIAN) of this <br />hearing disability. Two or three signs shall be posted within the vicinity of the child's home~ The signs <br />will generally be erected when the child is five years of age and removed after the age of twelve, except <br />that the .signs may be retained an additional two years upon written request of the parent. (WOULD <br />TH-E POLICY CONSIDER A COST SHARE OF A DEPOSIT ON SUCH A SIGN. TltlS WOULD <br />BE AN INCENTIVE TO NOTI2FY TI:W.
