The beeping sound made by vehicles reversing could be made the same as

into position to use the same crossing.

I heard, maybe apocryphally, that at a pedestrian crossing near a
railway station, a person with vision problems mistook a train
door close alarm for the pedestrian crossing signal.

If anyone can remember the Not the Nine O'Clock News comedy programme of
yesteryear:-

Rowan Atkinson's digital watch alarm went off and is was mistaken by a
blind person for the pelican crossing pedestrian green light indicator.

A wish list for too many audio safety features could actually make the
world less safe for the disabled.
