SB671 mandates pedestrian crossing signals with accessible features in California.

SB671 requires the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to implement leading pedestrian intervals (LPIs) and accessible pedestrian signals (APS) at state-owned traffic signals. These signals must comply with the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) and include nonvisual formats like audible tones and vibrotactile surfaces. The bill also mandates the installation of touch-free APS at new signalized pedestrian crossings on capital projects, encroachment permit projects, and highway maintenance-funded projects.
