Designing Installations

Summary
Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) installations require engineering, including detailed drawings and specifications. Complex intersections require complex decisions and the use of engineering judgment.

Decisions about type of device, device features, and where and how to install the APS may be affected by a number of factors that must be considered in designing the installation.
