N2 - Audible pedestrian signals are the simplest and most convenient traffic devices widely used across the globe However, because such devices sometimes disturb nearby residents, they operat in restricted hours, thereby hindering mobility for the visually impaired. This paper discusses a balanced solutioi ("tap-as-you-use" system) between the two groups of people, and the findings from the trial.
