The problem with audible traffic lights is that itis totally 
unrealistic to expect that all traffic lights will be of that nature. 
If people get used to depending on the audible signals then what 
happens when they get to one that is not?  Developing the skills as 
difficult as it may be to determine traffic  seems to me to be the best 
way to go.  Indeed audible traffic lights would be helpful and I'd love 
to think that every corner would have one but people aren't going to 
tolerate the municiple authorities puting out that kind of money. Grant
