If the channelized turn lane is under yield or free flow control for vehicles, the APS should not be on the corner curb. Rather, the APS should be on the splitter island since that is the point from which the signal control applies. Additionally, it is important that the APS on the splitter island should not be easily heard by a blind pedestrian waiting on the corner curb, lest they think that the audible WALK indication applies to their crossing (of the turn lane). Graphic on this slide shows the two APS pushbuttons on the island for the crossings in two directions from the island and that there should not be an APS at the crosswalk from the curb to the island.
