Facilities for blind or partially sighted pedestrians
Single crossing usually have a bleeper to help blind or partially sighted people know when it is safe to cross. These are not installed on dual crossings as a blind person could hear the far crossings bleeper and think it was safe to cross. In this situation blind pedestrians should use the tactile cone - virtually all signalled pedestrian crossings have a rotating knob underneath the WAIT box, which turns when the green man lights up.
