Apart from the obvious use of HLR=27s at busy crossings, I=27ve found that
where you put them up peds tend to watch the red/green man signal more,
I think this is because they are more in their line of sight. =20
With only a standard height NSI peds tend to look aimlessly across the
road after pushing the button. I=27ve seen peds miss the green man
altogether due to them not watching their signal on the standard height
NSI=27s.
I think HLR=27s can be particularly useful at sites where you can=27t use
bleepers to jolt the peds into action.=20
