Description

Spot Devices School Zone Flashing Beacon System consists of bright, attention-getting beacons installed at the boundaries of school zones to alert motorists that a reduced speed limit is in effect. The beacons are programmed to activate according to a user-specified calendar. Reducing speeds in school zones is vitally important; a child hit by a vehicle traveling at 30 MPH has only a 55% chance of survival. However, a child hit by a vehicle travelling just 10 MPH slower has an 85% chance of surviving. School zone flashing beacons reduce speeds. Recent studies demonstrate an average reduction of 5-7 MPH when flashing beacons were used compared with signage alone.

Operation

Spot Devices School Zone Flashing Beacon System helps maximize your investment by making it easy to schedule activations and monitor school zone beacon equipment for proper operation.

SIMA allows authorized users to change school schedules, receive proactive e-mail alerts and view the entire enterprise on a Google map from any browser-enabled desktop, notebook, tablet or smartphone.
