Clearly outline dangerous crosswalks with
in-road warning lights
Embedded in the pavement and oriented to face oncoming traffic, in-road warning lights flash in unison once activated to alert drivers of pedestrians actively crossing the road. This popular, MUTCD-compliant option has a low profile, allowing vehicles and vulnerable road users to safely pass over it at:
- School zone crossings
- Multi-lane uncontrolled crossings
- High-speed pedestrian crossings
Proven to nearly double rates of motorists yielding to pedestrians*
*UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST STUDY
City of Pacific Grove, CA
After many close calls and one fatality, the City of Pacific Grove leveraged in-road warning lights (IRWLs) to make pedestrians using a crosswalk on a dangerous roadway far more noticeable to motorists — especially at night.
“We get a lot of compliments. Pedestrians are much more visible, and people really like that. They definitely feel more secure when crossing.”
– Emilio Alcaraz
Construction Manager for the City of Pacific Grove's Public Works Department
