Here's the thing about Accessible Pedestrian Signals | Orientation and Mobility 101

Ever noticed the beeping sounds at crosswalks or watched someone press a button before crossing the street? These signals, known as Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), are more than just noise, they’re life-changing tools that empower individuals with visual impairments to navigate intersections safely.
