Guidelines for Understanding, Use, and Implementation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals

The guidelines for understanding, use and implementation of accessible pedestrian signals (APS) were prepared in response to the evolving needs of people with vision loss, technological advances in the accessible pedestrian signals industry and the need to address the high degree of variability amongst installations in Canada. This document is intended to provide deploying agencies with practical information on public liaison, APS installation prioritization and design, installation, operations and maintenance. It provides guidelines to meet the APS needs of people with vision loss, but do not constitute a set of standards.(A)
