Wildlife Warning Sign Solutions
More than one million accidents between vehicles and wild animals occur every year in the United States, resulting in 200 fatalities.
Designed to sense large animal movement, the BlinkerSign® Wildlife Warning System warns drivers when large animals are near. Particularly effective at night where animal crossings occur often, the flashing LED lights can be seen from up to two miles away.
Benefits & Advantages:
- Sense Movement From Any Large Animal, Such as Bears, Deer, Elk, Caribou and Moose
- Set For Dusk-To-Dawn or Desired Intervals, Including Migration Periods
- Alerting Drivers During the Day and At Night
- Warn Drivers in Areas Where Large Animal Crossing is Heavy and Prevalent
- Turned on Manually Via a Toggle Switch or Key Fob
- Can Flash 24 Hours a Day

About Activation
Optional BlinkerBeam® Wireless Communication
Systems can be activated and controlled with BlinkerBeam® self-powered wireless transmitters and receivers. These compact controllers activate systems wirelessly within a 1000 ft. range line of site (longer distances available with external antennas). BlinkerBeam® can be activated and controlled from a remote location, allowing for immediate implementation of warning, emergency and evacuation systems. Electric grid independence provides activation during power outages and remote locations.
About Activation
Wireless Bollard
Most commonly installed at pedestrian crossings, vulnerable road users passively trigger system activation by passing through bollards placed on either side of the crosswalk. With the capability to determine pedestrian traffic direction, the bollards are battery operated, requiring no in-ground wiring.
About Activation
Bulldog Push Button
Activated with less than two pounds of force, the Bulldog push button provides two-tone audible activation confirmation as well as visual confirmation. This popular activation option meets ADA, MUTCD and TAC requirements, and the housing components comply with NEMA specifications.
XAV2-LED Push Button
The XAV2-LED push button provides an instructional sign, a push button with voice message and three yellow LEDs for visual activation confirmation. This full-featured push button has an optional locate tone that automatically adjusts to ambient sounds via a built-in microphone.
About Activation
Optional Firehouse Activation Control
Located in a Firehouse, for activating signs indicating departing or returning fire trucks. Wireless communication allows communication to outdoor signs in nearly all outlet settings. Installation is easy, and does not require concrete cutting, trenching or special work crews.
- LED Indicators
- Rugged, Commercial-Grade Push-Button
- Can Integrate Within Existing EMS Systems
- No Need For Concrete Cutting, Trenching or Special Work Crews
About Activation
Optional Opticom™ Emergency Vehicle Preemption
- Delays Arriving on Scene Can Put Property and Lives At Risk
- Reduces Intersection Crash Rates By Up to 70%
- Improve Response Times By Up to 25%
- Choose Either IR Option or GPS Technology
IR Option
The IR emitter sends a secure, encoded priority request to the intersection.
GPS vehicle equipment transmits vehicle speed, direction and turn signal statsus to GPS intersection equipment.
GPS Option
GPS vehicle equipment transmits vehicle speed, direction and turn signal statsus to GPS intersection equipment.
Opticom™ detector recieves IR signal and relays the request to Opticom™ phase selector.
Opticom™ Multimode phase selector validates request form IR detector or GPS receiver, and alerts the traffic control system which changes the traffic signal and activates signs and or beacons.
About Activation
Rain Detector
The Rain Detector is based on the capacity principle. The capacity value of the sensitive element changes according to the surface dampened by raindrops. An integrated heater keeps it dry, evaporates water and prevents false signals caused by fog or dew.
The Rain Detector is equipped with three different outputs: a rain on/off output which detects whether it is raining/snowing (on) or not (off), also used to control a relay coil or similar devices; a 0...1V voltage analogue output (calibrated) and a 1,5...6KHz frequency output (not calibrated), which provide an accurate indication of current precipitation intensity. The on/off output comes with a delay circuit that indicates the rain over condition with a 2 minute delay so that the rain over condition is distinguished from the light rain one.
About Activation
Remote Surface Condition Sensor
The Remote Road Surface Condition Sensor is a non-intrusive surface condition sensor that uses laser and infrared electrooptical technology to read surface condition, temperature and reduction of surface grip due to water, snow and ice. Mounted easily on nearby traffic luminary, camera poles or on RWIS towers, this rugged all-weather sensor provides an economical means of gathering road condition information for weather responsive traffic management applications to improve traffic safety and road maintenance programs.
About Activation
Optional Surface Sentinel Environmental Sensor
The Fixed Surface Sentinel is a compact and rugged sensor that provides surface temperature, air temperature, relative humidity and dew point from a fixed tower or pole. The Surface Sentinel was designed for the demands of road management professionals.
Standard open-architecture data output is available via SDI-12 to provide a common interface to industry standard datalogger and telemetry options. The sensor has an integrated, powermanaged fan as an option for applications where higher accuracy air temperature and relative humidity readings are needed. A contact output is provided directly from the sensor to trigger ITS field devices at user defined sensor thresholds.
About Activation
Optional High Water Sensors
Ground Level Fiber Optic Water Sensor
The fiber optic water sensor is a low-power method to activate systems in flood zones. The sensor housing is installed in the curb or banded to a pole and will trigger TAPCO BlinkerSign® or BlinkerBeacon™ flashing LEDs when water rises to a pre-determined level.
- Dimensions: 3.7" x .5"
- Adjustable Water Level Action
- Vented Cabinet for Moisture Dissipation
- Works in Saltwater As Well As Freshwater
Pole Mount Water Sensor
The pole-mounted water sensor is easily installed at ground level to activate BlinkerSign® LED signs or BlinkerBeacon™ flashing beacons in flood zones. The tube-mounted sensor allows for a wide range of activation depth.
- Eliminates Need to Cut Concrete and Fiber-Optic Cable Run.
- Widely Adjustable Water Level Sensor.
