H Darrell, I live in the boston area, and I have an audible traffic signal 
fairly near my house. It also just happens to be close to the Mass 
Association For The Blind, so that may have something to do with it. It's 
usefull, but I wonder when a local municipality installs one of those, how 
much input to they take from local blind pedestrians as to the design, and 
sound to be emitted by the audible device. In short, might it be better if 
we, that is blind people, had more of a say in the actual design of these 
systems?
