Talking Pedestrian Traffic Light in San Diego, California

- It seems the pedestrian traffic signals in San Diego are talking in a pretty harsh voice. “Wait! Wait! Wait!” Once the light turns white, it announces the street which is safe to cross.
This film is shot at the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive and Towne Centre Drive in the district of University City in San Diego, California.
Enjoy.
0:43 “Five, Four, Three, Two, One- WAIT!”
Its because he pressed when it said one.
The five-points intersection traffic signals in Goderich, ON in Canada have these. They tend to malfunction a lot here for some reason. The annunciator tends to go out and the haptic feedback in the button still works at least. It rumbles the button when the signal is on. They don't tell people to wait or announce the street name when the sign is in. It says, "walk sign is on" preceded by either a two tone beep or a chirp like sound. Instead of "wait"' it makes a ping sound each second for the blind to find them. If you hold the button down it tells you the direction on the street.
Those are Polara Navigators, there are everywhere and they are for the blind. You can actually press the button and wait 5 seconds and then it'll say the street you are crossing. Depending on how it was programmed, it'll say wait every 5 seconds.
When it was counting down it was saying wait
I was at Santa Monica today and I knew that it was yo guys there on the stop light
I love the ones in my downtown Area, its funny, it will say wait and all that, then it will say walk sign on the,, It never can finish the entire street name LOL then starts counting down, 15, 14, 13 etc but the first few seconds is nano seconds and then it actually counts down in real seconds. LMAO It c
On That Signal at 2010 I Never Heard That
Nice I never hear the countdown
We have a similar light by my house and in the village 5 minutes away. It says "Wait" if someone pushes the opposite side button while one side's crossing!
The countbdown can be used for new year lol
I love crossing the street. Especially at traffic lights.
What brand of traffic signal head do you use in california?
How can it talk?
WAIT!
I saw drivers driving on a red light😮🧐🚦
It said wait idk
These are common here
I know this from downtown Rochester hills
On that crosswalk button
I cant stand those talking buttons. I live right next to those annoying things and they constantly beep all night and when the walk signal is on, it talks at a very loud volume and it drives me nuts. Some other ones make a loud sound that sounds like someone is shooting. Sorry but I prefer the old bird audio. I hate modern signals.
But it does help blind people, which is why they implemented in my town. On the flip side I would be annoyed to if I had to live next to one. :(
I lived about 4 blocks from the intersection that had these and if the wind was blowing just right you could hear them. That being said, they're there for a reason so you have to tolerate them. My example was two Ontario Provincial highways intersecting with a busy street coming off of our town square, colloquially known as the five-points. It's one of the more dangerous intersections in our town.
Reasons when I love these talking buttons (or some modern signals):
1. As long as I don't live right next to the buttons.
2. These buttons make me think I'm having fun.
3. I normally see these buttons when I go bike-riding. When the walk signal turns on, it tells me "[street name], walk sign is on to cross" or "Walk sign is on". Some other ones make a rapid tick sound (aka machine gun).
@@mustange550I would be annoyed, on the flip side, if I lived next to these buttons because:
1. I wouldn't be able to focus on my homework during school days (because the talking buttons would interrupt me from my work and it would drive me nuts).
2. During the night, I wouldn't be able to sleep as the buttons would wake me up.
