[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

the problem with many of the audible traffic lights is their placed
in controlled intersections and often not placed in 3 way, "t" or
star intersections where they should be placed.  Standards should
be adopted for placement of these audible lights.  In san francisco
by the lighthouse for the blind, there is a perfectly controlled
"grid" type intersection with the most obnoxious buzzing light in
the world.  i've often thought "what about the rest of this town?"
I am for them but properly placed and with a decent "chirp" that
wouldn't impact the neighborhood.  i'd hate to live next to that
buzzing light by the lighthouse, for that matter, i'd hate to live
in that neighborhood!!
