4. Prepare to cross & cross

Press button and return to predetermined spot at the curb and realign to cross. When WALK indication begins, confirm that traffic on the perpendicular street has stopped, and begin to cross the street, using typical alignment techniques (traffic, straight line travel, etc). It’s important to remember that the APS is providing information about the signal, not about the traffic. Treat the WALK indication as an “on your mark” indication, then listen to traffic to confirm the traffic on the perpendicular street has stopped, “get set”, then “go” cross the street. This can be a very quick process, but good for any person, sighted or blind, with any signal.
