That symbol means it's automated with no intervention from pedestrians.
The other one, with the hand symbol, means you only need to hover your hand near it and it registers your intent. No touch necessary.
For all the hate the bureaucracy and infrastructure in Berlin gets, the design of it at least does have some thought put into it.
- HPsquared 3y agoIf it's had a lot of thought put into it, so much the worse. Why such poor discoverability?
- uoaei 3y agoI figured it out watching locals. The hand symbol has a rather obvious intention so the 3 dots in a circle symbol obviously has a different one. Didn't take long to intuit from the fact that locals simply didn't interact with that box at all when it had the 3 dots in a circle and the lights still worked as intended.
