Like others, I was only dimly aware that the sound was a turn signal.
It doesn't provide any benefit to me.
At a busy intersection, I'm more focused on the cars that aren't using
any turn signals, and trying to judge if they are turning anyway.
Quoting Jack Kear <[email protected]>:
Hello:
I am a boardmember with the Marquette Neighborhood Association and
we have been approached by area residents with a request to ask
Madison Metro to curb the usage of the turn signals on most, if not
all, city buses. In the very initial start up of that conversation a
cyclist wrote to our neighborhood listserv asking that we not do
this because of the added safety benefits of that system. This
caught my attention and I'd like to know what other cyclists think
before I have the opportunity to vote on approaching Metro. If you
could only choose 'yes' to keeping the turn signal sound or 'no' to
eliminating it which would you choose and why? Also, if you argue
that it is not a concern either way I would also like to hear from
you. Thank You- Jack Kear
