We had a similar problem in Nottingham so time ago (at Dixons) - they cla=
imed that they couldn't change it but when we played up the road safety/c=
laims/blood on hands /national standard/ blind people etc issues =3D and =
they suddenly found they could change it after all.

Subject: [TCUG] Audible Signals
We have a Puffin crossing sited close to the doorway of a House of =3D Fr=
aser department store. We have discovered that the doorway security syste=
m =3D alarm sounds similar to the crossing's audible signal. Although thi=
s doesn't operate frequently one of our staff has witnessed pedestrians s=
etting =3D off to cross against a red signal when it sounded.
I have spoken with the Store Manager who informs me that this is their st=
andard countywide system and that the tone cannot be altered. The =3D vol=
ume has been set to suit their needs but would be heard from the crossing=
at =3D any volume. She could offer no solutions but was concerned about =
the =3D possiblity of claims of liability against the store if there were=
an accident.
Has anyone experience of a similar problem, if so what steps did you =3D =
take and did you consider the legal and safety aspects? We are considerin=
g =3D adding "cross with green figure" signing.
