Button panels at the Talking Crosswalk.
The talking crosswalk is an automated street crossing system to help visually impaired citizens safely navigate the 1st and D street intersection, by Davis Commons. The crosswalk signal features a friendly recorded voice that alerts pedestrians when walk signals are on. The sound is played back from the button panel and is generally quieter than the bird call alert used in a similar system which played back from across the street. The talking crosswalk voice is currently English only. The system also included pulse tones and over-sized buttons at each panel.
