Patrick Hefferan, Eastern Sales Manager will be showcasing the Carmanah R920 Rectangular Rapid Flashing Crosswalk Beacon at booth 522. The R920 solar-powered Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon is a perfect fit with the meeting’s focus on Complete Streets design, multi-modal transportation access, and sustainable transportation solutions.
