Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) are designed to make crosswalks more accessible for everyone by providing audible and tactile information for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Here’s how they work.
Locate Tone ‐ When you approach an intersection with an APS, you will hear a beeping locate tone when you are within 6 – 12 feet of the signal. This sounds once per second and helps direct you to the push button.
Tactile Arrow Button ‐ Once you locate the push button, you will find the button has a tactile raised arrow pointing in the direction of the crosswalk. Once you push the button, you'll immediately hear the word “wait” spoken.
Pre‐Walk Information ‐ Press and hold the button until you hear a voice message announcing the name of the street. For example, "Wait to cross Junction at Vallejo."
Walk Notification - When it's time to proceed, you'll hear a message repeating the name of the street, followed by, "Walk sign is on to cross."
