I wonder when (MTA) will updated Braille on Platform Column and Station Entrances?

 

Many brailles still has sign (W), (V), old (Mx) signs.

I wonder if any blind people ever get confuse with these signs?

I would guess that the blind don't see them anyway. It could confuse the partially blind folks.

That always seems to take a while to update, probably because very few rely on it, even the blind. They updated everything at the Lawrence St platform in preparation for the connection, including the braille signs. So I guess they'll take an initiative to get things right if it involves a ribbon-cutting.

In some places its updated already. At Lex-53 St on the (E)(M) platform it has the new ones. But OTOH, at Nostrand Av on the manhattan-bound (C) platform, it still says Manhattan & the Bronx in some places and that hasn't happened in over 15 years

You mean when the (C) used to go to Bedford Park before March 1998?

It went there in the 80's back when they had the <C> and when the (C) itself went 145 St & Bedford Pk Blvd. Also at that time, the (:P went to 168 St. Then, they switched terminals in the 90s to the current pattern and the <C> was discontinued
