Retrofitting an Intersection with an APS

Summary
When installing Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) at existing intersections, constraints of the intersection and signalization may affect the ability to meet new construction guidelines. New construction guidelines should be followed to the maximum extent feasible. The following sections provide guidance to assist the engineer/designer in understanding the effect of varying locations and different actuation on the usability of the information provided by APS.

Contents

Addition of APS to an existing intersection
APS at pushbutton actuated intersections
APS where pedestrian timing is not pushbutton actuated
