'Sounds of Australia' nominations

You think the combustion engine would be a winner but no it is the pedestrian button, also know as the beg button.

The beg button is 'an icon of Australian design' that makes distinctive sounds to signal to pedestrians that is o.k. to quickly interrupt the supply chain of combustion engine vehicles.

I’m convinced there’s a #saboteur in the City, working against #ActiveTransportation. This is brand new infrastructure and someone had to place a pole in the middle of TWO paths. Everything here was torn up and completely new stuff installed. At least you can press the #BegButton as the City usually makes them inaccessible. #yegbike #BikeTooter

How to show you really don’t care about people outside of cars: block the #begbutton with a road construction sign.

Always great to watch a @nerd4cities video about pedestrian crossing treatments. Some mention of #begbutton delay times for full red light crosswalks and #accessibility of button placement would have been nice, but, as great showmen do, always leave your audience wanting more.

the only right usage of beg buttons

#RoadSafety colleagues: In my ongoing quest to reduce #crash exposure for pedestrians at 2-stage crossings (with a median/pedestrian refuge), I'm in search of examples of 2-stage #pedestrian cossings that either:

* Do not require a second request for a #WalkSignal from the #RefugeIsland (one #BegButton controls both stages), or

* Immediately trigger a ped phase when a walk signal is triggered from the refuge island.

Thanks!
