User’s Voices after First Installation

(Weak Eyesight Person)
It was difficult for us to check the color of the signal with the traffic light facing us, but now we can check the color of the signal with the yellow box at hand. This was very well received by participants with low
vision. Also, when I tried to check the traffic light for pedestrians facing me, I sometimes couldn't find it because it was behind a tree. bottom. I was worried that the sound of “piyo piyo” flowing from the
peaker was also installed at a lower position than the position of the speaker of the current acoustic signal, but it feels easier to hear because it comes straight into my ear than the current tone. I also checked at night, but it was easier to check than during the day. The LED signal has high contrast at night, making it easier to see than during the day. As for the guidance sound, I felt that it was easy to hear the sound even if there was no change in the traffic volume.
( High School Student)

I stay in a dormitory near the school on weekdays and go home on weekends. Every time I go home, I cross the pedestrian crossing with the traffic light that Shinohara Electric made. There are a lot of cars coming and going, there are many buildings, and I'm afraid to cross, but it's very helpful because I can see the color of the traffic light even in the immediate vicinity of the blue sound. Also, for those who cannot reach the button position, there is a button in the lower position, so I think it will be very helpful for the elderly and small children. From now on, if there are more and more convenient traffic lights like this, I think that the inconvenience of going home will be eliminated.
