Description

Installed at mid-block crosswalks, the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) remains dark until a pedestrian presses a pushbutton to activate the system. When activated, the RRFB emits rapid, alternating bursts of light to warn motorists that pedestrians are crossing the roadway. Proven compliance rates exceed 80%, the highest of any amber light warning device. Unlike competing devices which use off-the-shelf emergency flashers that were designed for other purposes, Spot Devices RRFB lights are designed and built in-house to maximize effectiveness. The result is a RRFB with a light emitting surface area and brightness that far surpasses FHWA minimum standards. The RRFB also saves time and money by employing solar and spread spectrum wireless technologies, eliminating costly trenching and the need to pull power from an AC source.
