Presentation Outline What is APS? Physical Features Audible / Vibrotactile Features Implementation

What is APS? MUTCD: a device that communicates information about pedestrian timing in nonvisual format such as audible tones, verbal messages, and/or vibrating surfaces. Draft Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG): a device that communicates information about the WALK phase in audible and vibrotactile formats.

10’ / 5’ Rule

10” Rule DRAFT PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES November 2005

10” Rule – DelDOT Signal Plan Note “Proposed pole base type 4 and pedestal pole for pedestrian signal shall be constructed immediately adjacent to the landing area of the curb ramp or sidewalk in accordance with current ADA best practices. The pedestrian pushbutton shall be installed at a height of 42 inches above the landing area/sidewalk, and shall be located such that maximum reach distance is 10 inches from the sidewalk.”
