  5. Sidewalks shall be separated for way finding. • Where pedestrian crossings are more than one lane, pedestrian-activated signals shall be provided.

  6. Landscaped separation to indicate crossing location.

  7. Possible separation solution for curb attached sidewalks

  16. RRF Beacon? Still Need Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) This is not an APS

  17. Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK)?
