Warn drivers in real-time with our one-of-kind RRFB Pedestrian Crosswalk System proven to improve driver yield rates by as much as 98% at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings
In areas with heightened foot traffic, creating a safe environment for pedestrians is often a top priority. Drivers failing to yield to pedestrians can result in devastating consequences, making the right safety measures a necessity. When marked crosswalks and static signs aren’t enough to capture the attention of motorists, additional measures are often needed — like the RRFB Pedestrian Crosswalk System.
Designed to warn drivers in real-time of pedestrians present at crosswalks, the RRFB Pedestrian Crosswalk System immediately elevates crosswalk safety at any location. The MUTCD-compliant RRFBs boost driver awareness in a variety of applications and are proven to reduce pedestrian crashes by as much as 47%, as well as boost yield rates by up to 98% (FHWA). Common RRFB applications include:
- Mid-block crossings
- School zone crossings
- Multi-lane uncontrolled crossings
Proven to increase driver yield rates by as much as 98%*
* AN ANALYSIS OF THE EFFICACY OF RECTANGULAR-SHAPED RAPID-FLASH LED BEACONS TO INCREASE YIELDING TO PEDESTRIANS USING CROSSWALKS ON MULTILANE ROADWAYS IN THE CITY OF ST. PETERSBURG, FL
Whitefish Bay, WI
An S-curve on a busy road jeopardized safety for drivers and pedestrians, so the Village of Whitefish Bay used Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding to overhaul safety with a combination of low-tech and high-tech solutions.
"I receive data from our police department and DOT, and according to that our crashes are down 20 to 30 percent."
– John Edlebeck
Director of Public Works for Whitefish Bay, WI
Auburn, IA
Accessing a popular trail and county park forced pedestrians and bicyclists to cross a busy highway. To protect them, the town searched for an effective safety solution provider offering thermal activation — and discovered TAPCO RRFBs.
"To have thermal detection is pretty darn nice. We’ve even got the little kids going, ‘Yeah, we’ve got thermal detection!’"
– Jane Barto
City Councilperson for Auburn, IA
Sheboygan, WI
With recess held across the street, the Sheboygan Leadership Academy needed a mid-block pedestrian safety solution that would protect its students and staff. TAPCO’s RRFB system was the A+ solution the school was searching for.
"The TAPCO [RRFB Pedestrian Crosswalk] System took safety to the next level, and it was worth every penny."
– Laura Studee
Principal, Sheboygan Leadership Academy
