Pedestrian Crosswalk Solutions

Safety issue:

More than 76,000 Americans have been killed walking or crossing the street in the past 15 years. According to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, pedestrians account for nearly 12% of all traffic fatalities ^[1]. Many crosswalks are poorly lit or pose other visibility challenges. Speeding, distracted and intoxicated drivers only worsen the problem.

TAPCO solution:

TAPCO's solar-powered Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Systems combat these factors by illuminating crosswalks and approaches with LEDs in BlinkerSign, Round and Rectangular Beacons, and In-Pavement LED Markers. TAPCO is committed to providing earth-friendly technologies that reduce injuries and fatalities by alerting drivers to the presence of pedestrians and bicyclists, contributing to more walkable communities. Check out TAPCO's robust solutions for crosswalk enhancements below, and feel free to contact our team of product specialists if you have any questions on how we can make your crosswalks safer!
