You see a pedestrian carrying a white stick that also has a red band. What does this mean?

Explanation: When someone is deaf as well as blind, they may carry a white stick with a red reflective band or bands. They may not be aware that you're approaching and they may not be able to hear anything; so, for example, your horn would be ineffective as a warning to them.
