Safer Crosswalks. Smarter RRFB Solutions.

Wed, 19 Aug 2026 21:15:21 GMT

AM Signal offers Pedestrian and Multi-lane Safety with RRFBs

Protecting pedestrians at crosswalks doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) have proven to be a cost-effective solution for improving pedestrian safety at uncontrolled crosswalks.

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), RRFBs can increase driver yielding rates, often from around 20% to over 80%, by using high-intensity, rapidly flashing LED lights that immediately capture driver attention. Because they can deploy quickly and with minimal infrastructure changes, RRFBs are a reliable choice for communities seeking data-driven ways to improve crosswalk visibility and reduce pedestrian crashes.

The benefits of getting RRFBs installed in your community can help improve safety on multi-lane roads with a flashing beacon that can increase visibility. By offering a cost-effective and versatile solution, you can help reduce accidents in highly trafficked areas. AM Signal offers a product catalog, including Crosswalk-mounted RRFBs – standard, lower-cost pole-mounted LED signals.

One of our newest products with RRFB technology offers a cost-effective solution to making your community's pedestrians safe while delivering driver behavior data to identify high-risk times and locations.

What is Radarsign’s CrossCommand™ RRFB?

While standard RRFBs provide MUTCD-compliant flashing signals and solar-powered options, CrossCommand™ integrates four advanced features:

Radar speed data – track vehicle speeds at problem crossings.
Pedestrian countdown display – gives clear guidance for pedestrians crossing.
Behavior reporting – insights on driver compliance and violations.
Data for funding justification – measurable results to support safety budgets and initiatives.

What integrated radar can do for police and law enforcement agencies:

Speed data at problem crossings
Insight into when violations are most likely
Information to guide targeted enforcement

What integrated radar can do for school districts:

Clear pedestrian countdown visibility
Data on driver behavior near school crossings
Reporting support for safety committees and boards
