A one-of-kind crosswalk solution proven to improve driver yield rates by as much as 96% at uncontrolled pedestrian crossings
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Pedestrian Crosswalk Systems provide drivers real-time warning when pedestrians are in or about to enter an approaching crosswalk. This popular, MUTCD-compliant option heightens driver awareness in a variety of applications:
- School zone crossings
- Mid-block crossings
- Multi-lane uncontrolled crossings
Proven to increase driver yield rates by as much as 96%*
* 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
