@KayT @MindPersephone wow. If these weren’t for use in crisis they’d be comically bad. Thank you for sharing. Why oh why could they not replace the buttons either with “999” on each button that dials that, or leave them blank (which would surprisingly be less confusing than what they went with). Also, the signs seem designed solely for installers and maintenance people, not core users. 🤦‍♂️

@davidaugust @MindPersephone I must admit it makes me giggle every time I walk past. I agree with you over the signs, the whole installation is badly considered which given the critical nature of it's function is just crazy. Luckily the beach it covers is one of the few places around here which has reliable mobile reception

@KayT @MindPersephone ah, makes sense. And another key UX design piece you’ve just hit on: multiple systems that overlap in whole or part allowing the same things, in this case falling for assistance.

They make great funny examples of cautionary tales.
