[nfb-talk] Vibrating traffic signals.

[T. Joseph Carter]

Helene,

I have advocated for these to be considered in chirpers because they would
not interfere with what there is to hear.  We have even helped develop
some of these things.  We still do not believe they should be installed
everywhere at great expense, but they are preferable to us over the ones
that squawk and chirp.

However,  here in England we have twirling buttons which can be easily located just under the button that you have to press.  I find them very useful.  As I can't cross busy roads. Only quiet roads with the help of a devise called a tactaid  which vibrates when there is noise such as traffic or people speaking near by.
