| 摘要： | The recently-published Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG) have profound effects on everything to do with pedestrian infrastructure, but possibly one of the most noticeable is their effect on the humble push button. These devices are at all kinds of crossings, from those controlled by traffic and pedestrian signals, to those with a simple round or rectangular beacon. Until now, while the ADA required them to be made accessible to everyone along with all other public facilities, what that looked like was left largely up to the interpretation of individual agencies and enforced only on complaint. PROWAG changed that. The first federal accessibility standards developed expressly for the pedestrian environment, with specifications for sidewalks, crosswalks, signals, and push buttons, PROWAG requires push buttons to communicate the state of the signal or pedestrian-activated warning beacon to the user in non-visual formats. |
