What is an Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS)?
An Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) is a device that communicates information about the WALK and DON’T WALK phases at signalized intersections in non-visual formats (i.e. audible messages and vibrotactile indications) to pedestrians with vision and hearing loss.
