Response |
1 |
Knew which direction to cross, didn't veer |
2 |
Don't have to ask, tells when to go or wait, tells street info, know direction |
3 |
Don't have to listen to traffic, faster to cross |
4 |
Was able to know street names, knew when to walk, knew when to stop and go |
5 |
Tells you when to walk safely, gives direction, learned details, gave direction I was walking |
6 |
Gives a positive walk sign, gives direction across street, tells me where I am |
7 |
Know when to walk, keep aligned for crossing, knew which direction, knew block #, knew # of lanes |
8 |
Gives direction, # of lanes, walk signal, what's across street, don't have to ask, more independent |
9 |
Knew when to walk, duration of walk signal, block #, crosswalk button, name of street |
10 |
Knew initial start time, center & align crosswalk, more confident, gave orientation & cardinal direction, knew points of interest and destination |
11 |
Knew 100% I was crossing safe, didn't have to ask, knew direction I'm walking, knew block # |
12 |
Knew names of streets, TS helped me understand traffic flow & change, great for weird intersections, knew there was a button, gives info I didn't have |
13 |
Got info on walk signs, don't have to listen & wait for cycle, much faster, know block #, direction I'm facing, street names, knew when not to go, more secure, gives additional info |
14 |
Know when to walk, gives guide beam across crosswalk, gives info on direction, what's around, ID push button, street names |
15 |
Told me when safe to go, could locate center of crosswalk, gives me street name, cardinal direction |
16 |
Know walk signal immediately, likes beam for path to cross, mow which block #, street I am at |
17 |
More information, easier to cross, safer to cross |
18 |
Tells where to go, know what street you're crossing |
19 |
More assurance, know when to walk, signs gave info on intersection type, info on signal, faster to find corner |
20 |
Extra tool for alignment, know when to start, don't have to pause, know there is a push button, saves search time for button, gives directional info, gives cardinal direction, can fill in visual map in my mind |
21 |
Can listen to message & learn spatial information |
22 |
Knowing when to go is great help, can align self across street, more safe to cross, gives direction, 100's #, location of places you wouldn't visually know |
23 |
Gives direction, block #, name of street, know when to walk |
24 |
Helps orient faster, orient easier, helped me know where to go, would not have known the block #, direction, street names |
25 |
Follow beam when walk sign comes on, with regular method couldn't hear traffic, safer, knew direction, block #, didn't have to search, no ask, knew to only cross 2 lanes for muni, gave me info without learning |
26 |
Told me when walk signal is lit, more safe, gave me block #, knew street names, what was across street, knew if push button |
27 |
Wait signal was good validation of regular technique, knew exactly where I was, didn't have to deduce, count, remember |
28 |
Incredible difference, wouldn't have to wait for passers-by to ask, didn't have to assume they spoke English, got positive ID, timely info, able to align myself, not distracted crossing street, easy to find push button, knew when to safely walk |
29 |
Know what is around you, gives location info, confirms where you are, know when light says to go |
30 |
Can concentrate on message instead of traffic noise, could find location of crosswalk, walk direct, know which direction, street names, block #, much safer, know when walk signal is on |
