K&K Systems, W11-2-4848-HI, W11-2 Flasher Beacons Pedestrian sign 30x30, High Intensity
Pedestrians trust their safety to street crossing signs. That's why take the utmost care to use only high-intensity LEDs in traditional beacons, sign alerts, and RRFBs (Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon) which are exceptionally noticeable by drivers day and night. solar panels are the most up-to-date technology with electronics to maintain power levels through rain, shine, sleet, or snow. LEDs have a long life expectancy and consume less energy than conventional bulbs. 12" high solar flashing beacons enhance the visibility of pedestrian crosswalks.
Push Button activation puts safety at the pedestrians' fingertips. It wirelessly activates the beacons via the CrossTalk Controller to flash for a preprogrammed amount of time. Learn more about the advantages of the CrossTalk CrossWalk below.
The RRFB has proven to increase safety and yield rates at uncontrolled crosswalks. Their amber color and quick flash pattern make them easily visible in difficult night-time lighting conditions such as headlight glare and wet roads. According to a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, RRFBs were found to increase the effectiveness in causing drivers to yield to pedestrians from 0-26% to 72-96%.
K&K Systems' Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) is a device using LED flashing beacons in combination with pedestrian warning signs, to provide a high-visibility strobe-like warning to drivers when pedestrians use a crosswalk. In general, RRFBs are a visual cue that pedestrians may begin crossing the roadway at any time. They are always accompanied by crosswalk markings and signs.
Crosswalk RRFBs operate by wireless PUSH BUTTON activation. When a pedestrian pushes the button to cross the street, the sign is activated and begins to flash to warn drivers of the crossing pedestrians. The flashing pattern can be activated with push buttons or automated (e.g., video or infrared) pedestrian detection.
