Feature | Photograph | Description | Tagging | Object to Tag |
---|---|---|---|---|
Tactile paving | Typically sand-coloured paving slabs with an array of raised bobbles to allow vision impaired users to feel where the crossing is. | |||
Audible crossing indicator | Some signal-controlled crossings will emit an audible beeping sound when the green man is shown to aid visually impaired users. | |||
Tactile crossing indicator | Many signal-controlled crossings will have a small plastic cone protruding from the underside of the call point box. This cone rotates when the green man is shown to aid visually impaired users. |
