MUTCD Compliant Circular Flashing Beacon for Crosswalks

An efficient crosswalk solution. The Carmanah R820-E Solar Crosswalk Flashing Beacon improves yielding compliance at uncontrolled, marked crossings. This user-activated, solar-powered circular beacon helps drivers see pedestrians and cyclists at the crosswalk in the daytime or at night, in any weather and any setting. The self-contained system fits onto existing sign posts for hassle-free installations or retrofits. The battery, energy management system, and solar panel are contained in one unit, making the R820-E an easy-to-install self-contained solution. It requires no trenching, cabling, or in-ground wiring, and it’s built to last: durable and dependable, this product comes with a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.

Circular beacons are approved in the Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and can hit ITE intensity requirements.

Top 3 reasons to choose our solar-powered circular flashing beacons for crosswalks:

  • Compact, 15-watt solar engine ensures installation can be fast and easy, requiring minimal traffic interruptions.
  • Easy to mount or retrofit onto a range of square and round poles.
  • Proven to work, with 12+ years of successful deployments across North America.

Configuration Options and Add-Ons

 

ADA, PROWAG and MUTCD Compliant Pedestrian Activation

The R920-F can support standard pushbuttons with two-tone audible confirmation and visual LED confirmation, accessible pedestrian signal (APS) pushbuttons with locator tone and customizable voice messages. APS pushbuttons with non-contact operation are also supported, allowing pedestrians to activate a crosswalk without pressing a button.
