LED Enhanced Signs for Crosswalks

Boosting Pedestrian Safety at Unsignalized Crosswalks

RRFB or LED enhanced sign: Which works best?

Multiple roadway factors should be considered before choosing an LED enhanced crossing sign. Recent experimentation has demonstrated that LED enhanced pedestrian crossing signs are most effective at increasing safety for crosswalks on roadways with low operating speeds, low traffic volumes, narrow lanes, and narrow sidewalks. For roadways with higher traffic volumes, faster speeds, and wider lanes, safety countermeasures like the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) are recommended.
