Pedestrian Crossing's Sounds in JAPAN

I use the small cut curve to identify milk cartons.

Hahaha didn't know this!

Now i know

Christian, you need to do a sounds of Japan video?

Good info legend! I love trivia like this

勉強になりました！

After almost a year, now I got to know.. 😅

I will tell my blind student next week, thanks

日本のシャンプーとトリートメントにも区別する工夫がされていますよ。ご存知でしたか？

Wow...i didn't

They have that in California to my boy

Ive been to other places that do this

Birds sue for copyright use of their sounds!

LOL I didn't even know those sounds were supposed to sound like birds! The first one, to me, always sounds like the crossing people are shot down one after another like on Squid Game. Pew, pew!!

I just returned from Japan and heard these sounds. I knew they were to help visually impaired people but didn't know about the headings. Thanks for the info.

In the USA there are some that beep to help blind people find them, and then vibrate and make a rapid sound, sort of like a machine gun, when it's safe to cross. Some of them talk, saying "wait" when you press the button, then "It is now safe to cross __ street."

My dad is blind, and when I was a kid my sister had to write numerous letter to the county to get one of them installed near our neighborhood, but soon after they installed it people complained about the volume, so they turned it down so quiet that you can't even hear it over the sound of traffic.

Do they have mocking birds in Japan? That could screw with some blind people.

Cool

Oh I miss those sounds so much. I lived there 3.5 years but didn’t know the directional differences. 🆒

I realized these two different sounds on a crossing in Kyoto. Thanks for explanation :)

How would a blind person know if they are going north, south, east or west???

We have these two sounds in the US. I wonder if they follow the same rules.

We have these sounds in Utah crossings as well. Felt like I was downtown.

I started to jaywalk in Tokyo on an empty street and the crosswalk started yelling at me in Japanese to stop. Thankfully my partner could understand it but it scared me. Amazing they have sensors for that.

Thats so much better than Melbourne's DONKDONKDONKDONKDONKDONK-

Do ppl hear very high pitched whine around shibuya crossings??

知らなかった！！😮

When they implimented sound in the cross here I always wondered if it wasn't confusing for the bling when there's many of them close.

Some Coutries think that through.

Non-native birds to Japan otherwise there would be havoc 😂
Great idea 💡

oh wow, I this is awesome, I always wondered why there were different sounds

In Canada (or at least that parts I'm from) we do have the exact same Coucou sound; however, it represents all directions. The visually impaired are expected to hear the direction of the sound to know where to cross, or something like that :D

I love this! I’m scared of birds but these birds sounds nice 🕊️

that's so awesome 😊 I didnt know that tbh

I love that they also have the yellow raised bumps on the sidewalks everywhere for the visually impaired too!

love this short clip…such a great info for foreigners esp travelers 👍 👍

WAY Calmer than Australia's.. 😅

I didn't know for the use of the different "bird" sound ! Just knew it was to help visually impared.
Quite a nice idea !
