Hi John
AS you know we do have some older crossings with audible signal switched off
overnight, but all more recent crossing are now fitted with Tactile Cones
that operate at all times. We intend as funds are available to retrofit to
all sites in time.

Subject: [TCUG] Pedestrian Crossing Bleepers
One or two people living near to pedestrian crossings have
complained to me
about bleepers "going off all night".
In one case the bleepers are switched off by the time clock at 23:00
until
07:30 so they clearly do not bleep all night.
I know that this is an old problem, but it started me thinking about
the old
question of if we should be turning off bleepers at all.
I know that in some parts of Birmingham, Hereford and Worcester a
large
number of blind people use the streets at all times. This probably
applies
to many parts of the country and these people have a reasonable
right to
expect signals to work to the same specification at all times.
I would like to know what other people do about turning of bleepers
at
night.
Does anyone know of any guidance from the HA or anyone else about
this.
John Smith
