Project Name: Accessible Pedestrian Signals

Project Leaders: Continental Traffic, Strathcona County

Description: In 2005, a visually impaired resident requested that the county look into Accessible Pedestrian Signals to not only to accommodate himself, but to help accommodate accessibility for all. Strathcona County installed Continental Traffic's "the Navigator" into a pilot intersection. After several rigorous tests and extreme weather the Navigator proved to be a durable and reliable alternative to the standard Audible Pedestrian Signal.

The Alberta Public Works Association will also be working with the Council of the respective communities to do a formal presentation in October or November 2008.
