Another very different type of traffic signal I came across few years back just close to the school I studied in Delhi. The most fantastic aspect of this light was it was completely a self regulatory in the sense that whenever you want to cross that road, you need to press a button on a pillar just beside the road and the traffic light will turn to red after about 10 seconds and will continue to be red for another 30 seconds and it'll automatically turn green after a short duration of about 30 seconds. I noticed that most of the time after it was installed remained out of order, (don't really know if it was spoilt intentionally by somebody). ----- Original Message ----- From: "VIVEK KAVYA" <[email protected]> To: "accessindia" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 04, 2012 4:04 PM Subject: [AI] Blind Friendly Traffic Signals
Hai friends, last week I noticed a different type of Traffic signals on road in Shimoga City in Karnataka where I have not seen anywhere in Delhi or Mumbai, the traffic signal which I saw in Shimoga was blind friendly when the green light comes for pedestrian to cross the road a beep starts sounding for 20 seconds till there is green light for pedestrian so that blind can easily cross the signels on the road independently as soon as red light comes for pedestrian the beep stops sounding, and this was the first of its type I have seen in India, I have travelled many big cities in India, we should request traffic controllers of all cities to introduce such kind of beep system for breen light on signals for pedestrians.
