Talking Crosswalk of Death

Upside: it’s nice that Charlottetown’s newest pedestrian signals talk to you; much better usability than the anonymous bleeps and bloops and other “accessible” signals have, it would seem. Downside: all the signalization in the world won’t keep you from getting run over by a quarter ton truck that chooses to ignore the signals.

Maybe that’s why it says “… walk sign is on” instead of “it’s safe to cross”
