Accessible Pedestrian Signals

Home Living Here AccessibilityAccessible Pedestrian Crossings

Accessible pedestrian signals (APS) use audible tones and vibrations to assist pedestrians with a visual and/or hearing impairment by indicating when they have the right-of-way and which direction to cross at signalized intersections.

Using APS

To activate the APS, the pedestrian pushbutton must be pressed and held for at least three seconds.

Two audible tones are used to indicate the direction in which the pedestrian has the right-of-way.

A cuckoo sound indicates the walk symbol is on and can cross north or south.
A Canadian melody sound indicates the walk symbol is on and can cross east or west.

APS are also equipped with a continuous tone called a locator tone. This is emitted from the pushbuttons to help pedestrians find the pushbuttons. The APS and locator tones automatically adjust to ambient sound levels - volume increases during heavy traffic and decreases when traffic is lighter.

Pushbuttons have a raised arrow that points in the direction of travel and vibrates when the APS is activated
