Low-volume >> audible signals and tactile features have been incorporated into >> the design of products to provide access to pedestrians with visual >> impairments. The industry standard, the Manual on Uniform Traffic >> Control Devices, includes specifications for accessible pedestrian >> signals that derive from recommendations developed by a former >> Board advisory panel, the Public Rights-of-Way Access Advisory >> Committee. >> >> The Board has released new guidance on installing these types of >> pedestrian signals. The guidance entitled "Common Problems Arising >> in the Installation of Accessible Pedestrian Signals" reviews >> access features of available products, including locator tones, >> audible and vibrotactile indicators of crossing cycles, and signal >> volume, as well as explains important considerations in the >> placement and orientation of signal devices. The low-volume >> indicators of current products make proper installation essential >> in order for signals to be effective. The publication uses case >> studies and field evaluations to illustrate various installation >> do's and don'ts' in relation to common site conditions and >> factors. The publication, which includes an installation >> checklist, is available at http://snipurl.com/mdyp2 along with >> other resources on accessible public rights-of-way. >> >> 6.

The shop has existed and been in business since >> 1972. There are no conversions or alterations going on.
