Regardless of Puffin or Pelican crossing whom has noticed that these Crossings NO LONGER had audible Beeps whilst the Green Man shows.
2 reasons for this the Audible Beeps had to be silenced between 23:30 and 07:00 and were of no use to those who are Deaf and the beeps were replaced by a rotating Knob underneath essential for the Blind.
Some do still beep, but only the standalone crossings. If those at junctions beeped, it could be confusing (unless set up to have an all-arms pedestrian green phase). They might well turn the beeps off at night, I don't know.
Another thing that was mentioned by the Ped Xing Engineer was that the beeps are useful in giving the blind something to aim for.
