The City of Buffalo has finally joined other communities across the area by adding ‘Child with Autism' road signs in neighborhoods.
It's something caretakers of children living with autism have been wanting for years.
The city points to an amendment in state regulations for the signs. Here is what is needed:
the child with autism is under the age of 18;
the child lives in a home on a residential street where the average daily traffic volume is less than 2,000 vehicles;
the speed limit is 35 mph or less;
and the parent/guardian provides a note from a medical professional documenting the medical necessity of the sign for the child
