New York S09605 mandates accessible pedestrian signals with tactile maps for new installations.

New York S09605, known as the "real accessible pedestrian signal act," requires all newly installed or constructed pedestrian signal units to be accessible pedestrian signals. These signals must include tactile maps with braille, raised lettering, and raised lines to assist pedestrians with visual, auditory, physical, or combined sensory disabilities. The act also mandates the maintenance of pushbutton locator tones to help visually impaired pedestrians locate the signal. Existing pedestrian signals do not need to be retrofitted but must comply when replaced or upgraded.
