Visual Signals

During my trip in Japan I notice these audio notifications everywhere, but also, it was very common to find visual signals as well, specially cartoonish diagrams, from the public phone to the train-ticket kiosks... All the audio and visual hits combined makes life easy, not only for senior citizens, but foreigner non-japanese-speaker people as well.
