A marked crosswalk or pedestrian warning sign can improve safety for pedestrians crossing the road, but at times may not be sufficient for drivers to visibly locate crossing locations and yield to pedestrians. To enhance pedestrian conspicuity and increase driver awareness at uncontrolled, marked crosswalks, transportation agencies can install a pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) to accompany a pedestrian warning sign. RRFBs consist of two, rectangular-shaped yellow indications, each with a light-emitting diode (LED)-array-based light source. RRFBs flash with an alternating high frequency when activated to enhance the conspicuity of pedestrians at the crossing to drivers. RRFBs are placed on both sides of a crosswalk below the pedestrian crossing sign and above the diagonal downward arrow plaque pointing at the crossing. According to FHWA, research suggests RRFBs may result in motorist yielding rates as high at 98 percent at marked crosswalks, and may reduce pedestrian collisions by up to 47 percent, but results vary depending on the location, approach speeds, pedestrian crossing distance, one-versus two-way road, and the number of travel lanes. Attachment 2 provides details on each proposed installation location; several locations are multilane roads, and all have high volumes of daily vehicle and pedestrian traffic. RRFBs can also accompany school or trail crossing warning signs. As indicated on the maps in Attachment 1 and the location details in Attachment 2, the City plans to install the RRFBs at critical crosswalks near schools where school crossing warning signs currently exist in order to increase the safety of pedestrians crossing the busy streets.
