Editing Pedestrian crossing (section)

=== Relief symbols ===
[[File:OsloCrossing.jpg|thumb|upright|Tactile representation of a street crossing in Oslo showing (starting at the bottom) that the crossing consists of a curb, a bicycle lane, two lanes of traffic, a pedestrian island, two tram tracks, another island, then three more traffic lanes.]]
On some pushbuttons especially in Austria and Germany there is a symbolic relief showing the crossing situation for the visually impaired, so they can get an overview of the crossing.

The relief is read from the bottom up. It consists of different modules, which are put together according to the crosswalk. Each pedestrian crossing begins with the start symbol, consisting of an arrow and a broad line representing the curb. Subsequently, different modules for traffic lanes and islands follow. The relief is completed with a broad line.

Modules for traffic lanes consist of a dash in the middle and a symbol for the kind of lane right or left of the dash, depending on the direction from which the traffic crosses the crossing. If a crossing is possible from both directions, a symbol is located on both sides. If the pedestrian crossing is a zebra crossing, the middle line is dashed. A traffic light secured crossing has a solid line.

A cycle path is represented by two points next to each other, a vehicle lane by a rectangle and tram rails by two lines lying one above the other.

Islands are represented as a rectangle, which has semicircles on the right and left side. If there is a pushbutton for pedestrians on the island, there is a dot in the middle of the rectangle. If the pedestrian walkway divides on an island, the rectangle may be open on the right or left side.<ref>{{cite web|title=Productinformation Signal requesting device (EK 533)|url=https://langmatz.de/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/langmatz-signal-requesting-device-crossguide-ek533.pdfhttps://langmatz.de/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2015/11/langmatz-signal-requesting-device-crossguide-ek533.pdf|publisher=Langmatz GmbH|access-date=3 March 2018}}{{Dead link|date=May 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

The Australian PB/5 crosswalk button has an embossed arrow to indicate the direction of the crossing (intended to function in conjunction with tactile paving.<ref name="ph"/><ref name="unsw"/>
