When discussing the serious topic of the rise in pedestrian deaths and injuries, you might associate this trend with technology. Cell phones are getting more powerful and seem to be increasing our digital interaction with the world. Some may think that when looking at the statistics for pedestrian deaths/injuries that majority of accidents might be associated with cellular devices.
According to an article published by the Hill , the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) projects that 5,997 people were killed on foot last year, which would be the highest number of pedestrian fatalities in more than two decades.
Howard Industries’ LED-illuminated Pedestrian Crossing Safety System can help increase street design in a very affordable way to reduce negative statistics for your city or facility. Bright beam stretches beyond 20ft when crosswalk button is pressed, ensuring that no matter who is crossing that drivers will be able to see the pedestrians.
Along with the bright light highlighting the crosswalk itself, there are several other safety features included with the system. LED strobing light heads to grab drivers attention that may not be focused on driving, 7 inch illuminated “XING” copy vertically lit up on the system, and finally an amber colored wide angle Pedestrian symbol sign. All of these safety features are highly visible and extremely durable in all weather conditions.
There are other useful features as well, such as directory maps for tourists or visitors which are able to be customized.
