Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB)
TAPCO's pedestrian activated RRFB systems have produced 80% to 90% driver compliance in yielding to pedestrians at high-risk uncontrolled crossings. When activated, the LED arrays flash an FHWA specified, alternating 'wig-wag' pattern. Side-mounted LED arrays flash concurrently to advise pedestrians that the units are flashing. This is the highest yielding rate of all devices not featuring a red display, and up to 4 times greater than standard round beacons. RRFBs cost less than other devices with similar vehicular yield rates.

Recommended applications:
- School Crossings
- Pedestrian Crossings
- Roundabout Crossings
- High-Speed and multi-lane crossings
RRFB-XL System
The Xtra-Large 7" x 3" LED arrays on the RRFB-XL provide greater visibility than standard RRFB, exceeding Federal specifications. The increased conspicuity is ideal for multi-lane and higher-speed roadways.
