This is an example of a well positioned traffic signal pole as it is located near the intersection and it is also located with in easy access of the kerb ramp of the intersection.

When installing the push button control on a pole, the pole should be placed within easy reach of the kerb ramp or crossing point wherever possible. The directional arrow on the push plate provides information to the person who is unable to see the direction of the crossing and therefore should be positioned within easy reach. If the push button is located away from the crossing, the audio signal may not be able to be heard.
