Am I alone in thinking that a bright yellow box which contrasts with the
darker pole colour highlights where the pushbutton is just as well as any
other contrasting item would.
For information, here in Derby we fit tactile cones to all pushbutton units.

This is also a new one to us at Nottingham. Where appropriate, we use
the stem of the tactile paving to indicate which PBU the rotating cone is
mounted on (these days it's the right hand one although this does seem to
change regularly). We use nothing else to highlight the loction of PBU's
and nothing to indicate any other PBU's that may be fitted with rotating
cones.
