Posted on: August 9, 2023 - 3:34pm
Ferguson Township has finished the installation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) at the intersection of College Avenue and Bristol Avenue. This makes four locations in the Township that have been fitted with APS buttons to assist visually impaired pedestrians cross safely.
Other APS buttons can be found at the intersections of:
- College Avenue and Corl Street
- Blue Course Drive and Martin Street
- Aaron Drive and Martin Street
APS emit a constant beep to notify pedestrians of the existence of the button and guide them to it. After pushing the button, an audible "wait" can be heard, followed by a seven second percussion tone to alert pedestrians when it is safe to cross. An audible countdown lets pedestrians know when the safe time to cross is about to end.
