Accessible Adelaide Scramble Crossings Adelaide has a number of busy street intersections where pedestrians on all corners walk across at once, in any direction. If you have vision impairment, you may wish to get some practice or training from orientation and mobility instructors about the best way to cross safely at these scramble crossings, sometimes also referred to as ‘barn dance’ corners.
Pedestrian Activated Traffic Signals At street corners with lights, pedestrians will find a button with a raised directional arrow making a slow beeping sound. Pushing below the arrow tells the light sequence that a pedestrian wants to cross. There is a symbol of the walking man in green and a fast clacking sound to indicate when it is OK to go. The arrow symbol will vibrate when it is OK to go for people who get their safety information by touch. These buttons are found on tall traffic poles and also on half poles.
