There are too sites here in sunny Torbay; one is on a dual carriageway and
the other is on a single carriageway. Reliability has been a problem, there
are always one or two units that don't work. Apparently they can fill with
water which stops them from making a noise - a small hole in the base allows
water to drain out! I cannot say that I have heard bleep and sweep change
volume according to the background noise thouigh. On the bright side, we
have had no complaints about them from the public.
