[TCUG] "Bleep and Sweep"

  • From: "Wallis, Ian" <Ian.Wallis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

We have been asked by a local organisation why we don't use "bleep and
sweep" units on staggered crossings.
The only experience we have previously had was on a trial site and the units
were soon removed (deemed
unsatisfactory) and replaced with rotating tactile knobs.

Does anyone have any long term experience of "bleep and sweep", are they now
approved or still experimental,
what design considerations need to be taken into account (length of stagger
etc) and does anyone have any
comments, good or bad, on their use.

Thanks.
