TS60-RRFB LED Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons

Made in USA

Description

General Description

The TS60-RRFB LED Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon System is designed to improve pedestrian safety at uncontrolled intersections and mid-block crosswalks by providing highly visible warnings to approaching drivers. Installed on both sides of the crosswalk beneath pedestrian crossing signage, the system uses flashing, high-intensity LED beacons to clearly alert motorists when pedestrians are present or preparing to cross.

Studies have shown that Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) significantly increase driver yielding behavior at pedestrian crossings. The system offers flexible activation methods, including manual push-button operation or passive sensor-based devices such as photo-sensor bollards, providing intuitive operation and reliable performance in a wide range of pedestrian crossing environments.
