There's lots of these on traffic lights maintained by the Maryland State
Highway Administration. These are called Accessible Pedestrian Signals
(APS), and they're made by Polara Engineering Inc. to assist the visually
and hearing impaired cross the street safely. It also features a vibrating
button for these people to feel to know when it's safe to cross in case
they're a little bit of both. This button is also pointed in the direction
where to cross the street so they know where to cross

We have a lot of these in Indianapolis. I find these somewhat helpful.and
as an orientation mobility tip, don't fully depend on these. You should
still go always with the first surgeon traffic in your near parallel lame.

Please, do not use the audible countdown feature during the ped clearance.
It serves no valuable purpose and masks the sounds of traffic to the
visually impaired. And these volumes seem to be much too loud.

OMG i feel so much safer now, wow a button signal that replaces common
sense, Luckily oregon is one of the only states where they actually need
this since the people there lack common sense. Have you ever seen them
drive, let alone ride a bike. Luckily We dont have that problem in CA so
there prob not going to waste there time installing these. If your stupid
enough not to pay attention,care for your own life and pretend that your a
car when you ride your bike then you deserve to be run over.

@BBdaWolfy I think what is more innovative than anything else here mate, is
the way in which the bicycles cross the street, if you think about it it's
quite alot quicker for the biker, and traffic as the cyclist will not have
to cross twice to get the the oposing corner. I think innovative for the
Detection loops is the wrong word, I think taking action and using them in
a practical application is a great thing, just another step in promoting
better traffic flow of all kinds. Cheers, IC.

How is this hight tech? Most all intersections have traffic detecting loops
for cars. Is it really innovative to tune them for a bicycle? If a cave man
copied the wheel in a smaller version is he now somehow high tech? Is Rex
saying cyclist are less intelligent than pedestrians? Pedestrians seem to
do fine crossing an intersection of cross walks. Is Rex simply pandering to
a special interest group here in the form of cyclists? Pehapns he is a
typical politician after all.

Lame. Way lame. This only promotes bad bike safety in traffic. Traffic
signals should encourage cyclists to use proper lanes and sides of the road
instead of just stopping traffic for them. Google "Vehicular cycling" if
you're interested.

I wish bicycles were accomodated so well everywhere. The cycle routes in my
city seem to get cyclists out of the way so cars get priority and the
cyclist has to wait longer or contend with cars illegally stopping on cycle
lanes. Grr@cars.

I am moving to Porland because of the biking and eco friendliness, I have
never seen anything like this auto bike signal. I live in south florida and
well I am risking my life everyday venturing on my bike. I am so excited.

Rex might want to be more sensitive to equal rights. He appears to be
promoting cyclists' rights and convenience over pedestrians. I walk often
and I may have to file a descrimination suit against Rex and Metro for this.

Rex Burkholder lost his election bid in my opinion because he pandered to
the urbanite vote and ignored the majority of metro voters. This may be
more evidence that most Oregonians do not care for portland urbanites.

the intersection works well and more importantly its a statement that
things can be done differently. new approaches are possible and its a
positive testament to PDOT and the BTA that this was implemented.

I use this quite a bit and it's quite nice, but Portland has lost it's rep
of being bike friendly. I've had some close calls with drivers pushing us
off the road and swear at us.

?? Every cyclist who is pictured in the video is wearing a helmet. You're
not talking about the narrator, are you? That would be excessive, don't you
think?

It would be even more effective if the fellow in the video wore a helmet.
He's a bad example to the rest of PDX, especially in his visible position.
