• Abstract:
  Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) provide auditory and tactile information about the ; pedestrian signal phases (“walk” and “don’t walk”) at signalized pedestrian crossings. ; This information parallels the visual information provided by conventional signals to ; sighted pedestrians. This PROWAG provision would require APS to be incorporated in ; all new and replacement pedestrian signals. There is no requirement to retrofit existing ; signals. Moreover, there is no underlying requirement to provide pedestrian facilities or ; pedestrian signals at any given intersection.
