Click below to play a locator tone followed by rapid tick walk indication. You’ll hear the pushbutton locator tone (during steady don’t walk and flashing don’t walk), then rapid tick walk indication (during WALK).

This type of WALK has been used for years in Europe and Scandinavian countries; the same sound is used for all directions and they locate the pushbuttons and APS right beside the crosswalk departure location so the same sound for all crossings works due to proximity to the croswalk. The locator tone is constant and adjusts in response to ambient sound but it is NOT supposed to be loud (just audible at the corner, not halfway down the block or across the street).

Locator tone plus rapid tick walk indication
