Simple safety enhancement that ensures pedestrians are more visible, especially at night and in poor weather

overview

OVERVIEW

Drastically increase pedestrian visibility at poorly lit, two-lane crossings with the SafeWalk® Crosswalk Illuminator — a simple safety enhancement to TAPCO Pedestrian Crosswalk Systems. With a rugged, weather-resistant enclosure and dual-light technology, the illuminator is ideal for:

  • School zone crosswalks
  • Libraries
  • Parks
  • Shopping areas

75% of pedestrian deaths occur in the dark and 70% occur at non-intersections

* ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA)

PRODUCT STUDY

The Illinois Transportation Institute conducted a nighttime study, comparing the impact of lighting treatments and pedestrian safety countermeasures on driver reaction times at crosswalks. TAPCO’s SafeWalk® Crosswalk Illuminator contributes to highly increased reaction times.

CASE STUDY

Danville, California

With thousands of vehicles interacting with heavy pedestrian and bicycle traffic at three crossings along a regional trail network, Danville needed integrated crosswalk visibility solutions that would maximize safety without being intrusive — all from one vendor.

"I’d definitely recommend these products to other agencies. They’re really a win-win for everyone.”

– Andrew Dillard
Transportation Manager for Danville, CA

Crosswalk illuminators like SafeWalk® are proven to drastically improve pedestrian safety. According to a study by the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, drivers were three times more likely to yield to pedestrians at illuminated crosswalks than ones without supplemental lighting — and thirteen times more likely with both RRFBs and crosswalk illumination.
