Under the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens try to avoid touching public facilities with their hands. However, most of the road crossings in Hong Kong currently use electronic pedestrian crossing sound devices. Pedestrians need to lightly touch the surface to turn the light signal. Some citizens use their foot devices to spread poison in disguise. , Has been criticized. Recently, some people have added a creative design to the pedestrian crossing device in Aberdeen, using a foot pedal to press the surface of the device. Some district councillors pointed out that the new device appeared for about a week, and the neighbors praised the design as useful. However, in the long run, the Transport Department should follow the example of shopping mall toilets to install automatic sensors to make it safer.
A creative design has recently appeared at the pedestrian crossing near Wah Lok House in Wah Fu Village, Aberdeen. The device is additionally installed on the electronic pedestrian crossing sound device. The principle is to use a pedal on the ground. After the pedestrian steps on the middle, the foot is connected. A palm wood strip device that is stepped on will automatically pat the surface of the crossing sound device instead of a human hand. The device will light up a red "Please wait" signal, and wait for the traffic light controller to change the pedestrian doll to green, allowing pedestrians to cross the road.
Foot instead of touching the surface of the device
The special features of this design seem to have been improved. For example, the palm of the hand is wrapped in tin foil to increase the sensitivity and touch of the surface of the passing sound device. In addition, the four sides of the pedal are fixed with rectangular wooden strips to avoid swinging left and right.
A female neighbour said that the newly added device appeared for about a week, but not many people used it. It may be related to the degree of yardstick to some extent. She pointed out that the wooden bar connected to the palm of the hand is softer, not as hard as an iron stick. Good, sometimes it misses the surface of the sounding device, so you have to step on it a few times, or even adjust the angle by hand.
"It's all called helpful, but the camera (device) will turn the light first. If it's not a Qi Chengri, it won't turn the light."
Southern District Councillor Yan Junhao said that the artillery design appeared for about five to seven days. For the time being, it was only installed in this place. No other places were used. There was no official organization or the Transport Department who indicated that it was designed by anyone. It is unknown whether the Transport Department He acquiesced to the design, but he believes that the artillery design will help the neighborhood avoid touching the buttons of public facilities and reduce the risk of infection under the epidemic. The neighborhood’s response is also very positive. The only problem is that the design needs to be slightly improved to increase the accuracy. Know how to reflect to the designer.
He also pointed out that in recent years, Hong Kong has promoted smart cities. Electronic pedestrian crossing sound devices are out of date under the epidemic. In the long run, they should imitate shopping mall toilets or MTR elevators and install automatic sensors to activate doll lights without touching them. Turning red to green is more in line with epidemic prevention and public interest.
