Aren't they for blind people, as there's a thing under that spins until the light turns green, so they can touch it to know when to go?

    No. Look at the textured ground at the cutout from the sidewalk to the road. That warns blind people that there's a surface transition. And the crosswalk noises let them know which direction is safe to cross.

    Maybe the touchy spinny thing is for deaf and blind people then? They have them at traffic lights where I live, plus the beeping and ground texture
