This is the Pedestrian Detection map. It shows the locations and types of pedestrian detection at signalized intersections in Portland, Oregon. PBOT understands that this map is not screen reader accessible and is working toward a permanent solution. Due to the complexity of the information the map provides and the currently available map platforms at the city, we ask for your patience while we work on a technology-based solution. As we work toward providing that level of accessibility, please contact PBOT Vision Zero staff who can assist you to get the data you need from the map. You can also contact PBOT’s ADA Coordinator at Lisa.Strader@portlandoregon.gov or at 503-823-5703.
Request an APS Button
Many of the existing pedestrian push button locations are audible because that has been the City standard for more than 10 years. New audible pedestrian signals can be requested.
City staff and/or a mobility specialist from the Oregon Commission for the Blind will consult with the person making the request to understand the pedestrian’s needs. The City’s policy to evaluate these requests identifies that:
The intersection must be signalized.
The location be evaluated for safety, noise level, physical constraints, and neighborhood acceptance.

Within 90 days, PBOT will provide the following information in the requested format:
- The feasibility of installing an APS button to address the crossing immediately.
- An assessment of the relative priority of the requested intersection as compared to other requested intersections.
- Whether any work is being planned at that intersection.
- Whether an APS upgrade with ADA compliant ramps is likely to be installed within the next three years.
- The name and phone number of a contact person at PBOT to answer questions about the request.
For most intersections already equipped with pedestrian signals, PBOT will complete installation of an APS at funded locations as soon as reasonably possible after receiving funding for the requested location.
