===Tactile feedback=== Tactile cones near or under the control button may rotate or shake when the pedestrian signal is in the pedestrian "walk" phase. This is for pedestrians with visual impairments. A vibrating button is used in Australia, Germany, some parts of the United States, Greece, Ireland, and Hong Kong to assist hearing-impaired people. Alternatively, [[electrostatic]], touch-sensitive buttons require no force to activate. To confirm that a request has been registered, the buttons usually emit a chirp or other sound. They also offer anti-vandalism benefits due to not including moving parts which are sometimes jammed on traditional push-button units. The Australian PB/5 crosswalk button has a tactile response panel on the upper face vibrating to indicate when to cross.<ref name="ph">{{cite web |last1=Curtis |first1=Jane |last2=Jacobs |first2=John |title=Oscillations: Push to Walk |url=https://powerhouse.com.au/stories/push-to-walk |website=powerhouse.com.au |access-date=23 March 2025 |language=en-AU}}</ref><ref name="unsw">{{cite web |last1=Park |first1=Miles |title=Sublime design: the PB/5 pedestrian button |url=https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2014/06/sublime-design--the-pb-5-pedestrian-button |website=UNSW Sites |access-date=23 March 2025 |language=en}}</ref>
