Increase visibility and reduce pedestrian crashes at crosswalks up to 47% with trusted, MUTCD-compliant technology.
Pedestrian safety ad lorem ipsum
Safe and frequent crossings are a key feature of walkable, livable communities—and not just at signalized intersections. Midblock crosswalks and marked crosswalks at roundabouts and other unsignalized locations can provide numerous safety benefits to pedestrians.
The inclusion of RRFBs in the MUTCD 11th Edition (2023), is an exciting step forward for road safety regulations. The best way to optimize visibility and safety at these crossings is with Carmanah’s MX Series rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) – Ready More About R920-MX

Problem
- Low yield rates at existing crosswalk.
- Low-intensity beacons are hard to see, especially during the day.
- Drivers are used to flashing beacons, so they no longer grab attention.
- Signal techs are reliant on the public to call in downed or damaged infrastructure.
- Engineers have limited insight into the adoption and/or effectiveness of their systems.
Solution
- RRFBs get drivers to yield up to 96% of the time.
- RRFBs use directional, high-intensity LEDs that are visible at all hours (SAE Standard J595 – Class 1).
- The erratic wig-wag + simultaneous flash pattern of the RRFB attracts driver attention.
- MX RRFBs alert personnel as soon as there’s an issue, be it a knockdown, low battery, or something else.
- MX Cloud provides easy access to data like pedestrian counts that can be used to assess effectiveness and make decisions about future infrastructure.

About Carmanah
Looking for easy and low-cost installation:
When installation must be done quickly and affordably, solar is a good choice because, unlike AC, it requires no trenching for power, no metering, and can be installed by one or two people without extensive equipment. Solar is safe, simple, and reliable.
Distance to existing electrical infrastructure:
Solar is the better choice if there is no existing electrical infrastructure at the site, especially if trenching is required, which would make the cost to connect the beacon to the AC grid more expensive than the cost of the solar-powered version. As well, installing a solar solution does not inhibit vehicular traffic since the road is unmodified, and it does not damage the landscape.
Sustainability initiatives are in place:
When a municipality or project requires that certain sustainability requirements are met, solar-powered beacons are an easy-to-implement way to attain those goals. In addition, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) encourages solar-powered beacons, where possible.
