I never knew that before....
« on: Aug 18, 2019, 01:48:00 AM »
For blind people there are rotating cones on the underside of the push button box at traffic light crossings that rotate when it's safe to cross.  (Not all crossings have audible signals and the ones that do are sometimes limited to the hours 7 am - 7 pm. )

Well I didn't know that Min and it's tucked away in the memory bank. I say 'bank', it's more a series of sieves these days, some things get through, some are stuck temporarily and a few are just gone.. ;D

I knew that! I looked into it when I wondered why they made a whirring sound. However, some have and some haven't.

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.
