I have been asked for information regarding equipment available for assisting visually impaired people with guide dogs to cross at signalised crossings. We obviously use audible and tactile indicators but is there any other innovative equipment available.
Whilst I appreciate that this is a very general question, I would appreciate it if anyone experienced in this area could provide information on the latest thinking.
Thanks,
DaveO]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Posted by James R 5th October 2018<br /><br />Hi Chris – what did you need to install to your signals in order to make them Neatebox ‘Button’ compatible? I quite like the idea, but their website doesn’t give much away from the engineering side of things.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />James]]></description>
