Let me clarify: the sounds are there for the blind. At an intersection you have 2 streets crossing, let's say one goes east-west, the other goes north-south. A blind person can hear one specific sound when the east-west street is clear for crossing, and another distinctly different sound when the north-south street is clear for crossing. There are also raised bumps (like enlarged Braille) at the intersections to help the blind find the edge of the road.

    Lovely way to make you enjoy the special city, and it leaves quite an impression on tourists such as myself!
