Seventy-six percent of pedestrian fatalities take place at night — and the nighttime fatality rate in the U.S. has three times the fatalities of the daytime rate, signaling a severe need for enhanced visibility at night (FHWA). In fact, high visibility crosswalks can reduce pedestrian crashes by up to 40% — and intersection lighting and advance yield/stop markings have similar benefits (FHWA). And with pedestrian fatalities at record highs, addressing these pain points has become a priority for communities. TAPCO’s latest enhancement, VizMark®, is designed to target the issue of pedestrian visibility. By illuminating pavement markings, the enhancement offers a much-needed layer of visibility at crossing locations.
