Encourage walkability with safer school zones
Non-specialized school maintenance crews can add this compact, 15-watt flashing beacon to existing school speed limit signage, making installation fast and simple. With no grid connections required, the beacons reduce both installation and long-term operating costs.
The battery, energy management system, and solar panel are contained in one unit, making this a self-contained solution. It’s also built to last: durable and dependable, this product comes with a 5-year warranty for peace of mind.
School zone flashing beacons fit within Safe Routes to School infrastructure funding models, complete streets plans, and state-specific grants for school zone safety improvements.
Three reasons to choose the R829-E:
- Compact, 15-watt solar engine makes installation fast and easy with minimal traffic disruptions
- Easy to mount or retrofit onto a range of square and round poles
- Prewired with Carmanah’s calendar software and can be preprogrammed with up to 500 days of operation according to the peak traffic times of individual school zones
