Which category includes 'Mid block travel' and 'Lighted intersections'?

• A. Light Business O&M Skills
• B. Residential O&M Skills
• C. Public Transportation Skills
• D. Rural Travel (Special Areas)

Answer: (A)

In orientation and mobility practice, skills are organized by the environment where the client travels. Mid block travel and navigating through lighted intersections are characteristic of navigating urban, commercial areas with sidewalks, signals, and crosswalks, so they fit the Light Business O&M Skills category. This category covers traversing busier streets, planning routes through commercial districts, and handling the cues you get from street lighting and intersections at night.

The other environments emphasize different contexts: residential focus is on home-neighborhood travel with calmer traffic and simpler crossings; public transportation is about using buses or trains and related stops and schedules; rural travel deals with non-urban settings, rougher surfaces, and limited infrastructure and lighting.
