The District of Muskoka manages traffic lights and signals at intersections throughout Muskoka.

 

Accessible Pedestrian Signals
Pedestrian Signals

At selected road crossings at traffic signal locations, the District uses Accessible Pedestrian Signals to assist pedestrians who are visually impaired. These signals advise visually impaired persons when they can cross the intersection and in which direction.

If pedestrians hear a “cuckoo” sound, they can cross in a north/south direction. A “chirp” or a music melody means they can cross in an east/west direction. We are working to continually update our pedestrian crossings throughout our communities. 

Tactile Plates at an intersection
Tactile Plates

Tactile plates, also known as Detectable Warning Plates are a system of textured ground surface indicators found on sidewalks, stairs, and platforms to assist people who are visually impaired effectively navigate the surrounding environment. 

Used in many of our intersections in Muskoka, they are used to alert people with low or no vision of potential hazards, such as moving vehicular traffic.
