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.
