November 23, 2015

Researchers at the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (TTI) are studying the effectiveness of rectangular rapid-flashing beacons (RRFB) in improving pedestrian crossing safety. Previous research has showed that the RRFBs increase the number of drivers yielding to crossing pedestrians, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has asked TTI to investigate modifications to the RRFB before adding […]

June 18, 2014

For many pedestrians, crossing a multilane busy roadway without the protection of a traffic signal is a nerve-wracking proposition, even when using a crosswalk. Help is coming, though, as research into a recently-developed rapid-flash beacon has shown significantly positive results—an increase in the number of drivers yielding to pedestrians. One of those projects is a […]
