RRFB
stands for Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons. The RRFB is an amber-colored
flashing LED light that is activated by a person before crossing street.
RRFBs use an irregular flash pattern that is similar to emergency flashers on
police vehicles. RRFBs enhance safety by increasing driver awareness of
potential conflicts in the crossing, thus reducing the number of crashes
between pedestrians or cyclists and vehicles.
Always enter
the crosswalk with caution. Before entering the crosswalk, press the button and
wait for the beacons to begin flashing. Vehicle drivers are required to yield
to you, but they might not see you. Do not enter the crosswalk until the oncoming drivers yield to you. Please
take the time to practice using the RRFB with your children and others you may be responsible for.
Thank you.
Thank you.
