Okay, I'll ask. I have had multiple blind friends state that it's
difficult to determine when a hybrid car is approaching their path, with
a recommendation that they should have such a beeper running whenever
the vehicle is moving. I think that's a little over the top. Still, I
used that bit of information to inspire the notion that the turn signal
beeper would be helpful.
I find the bleeping obnoxious at best and confusing at worst.
As a cyclist, pedestrian, car driver, and bus passenger, I am in favor
of getting rid of this extra noise emanating from the buses that does
not appear to have any positive influence on anything or anyone.
And this is not an "assumption"?
