As an Australian, whenever I travel overseas I get subtly confused by the lack of audible and touch feedback on pedestrian buttons in many places. I'm not disabled and I still find the aural and tactile elements of an Australian pedestrian button to be a key part of my road crossing experience :)
- cylinder 10y agoWhen I visit Australia I am always charmed by the iconic crosswalk sound. There are a couple of crosswalks in Manhattan that have this sound and PB5. They're around 23rd st & Broadway next to Madison Square Park apparently due to a school for the blind nearby.
