dwerner151@verizon.net Pedestrian fatalities and injuries have been increasing at an alarming pace in the U.S. for the past decade. However, Malone pedestrians stand to receive benefits from a pedestrian safety project along U.S. Route 11 this year. A new feature planned for the project will be “Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons” (RRFBs) at selected un-signalized crosswalks. Installed on roadside poles, the RRFB remains dark until a pedestrian activates the system by pressing a pushbutton. Once the system is activated, rapidly flashing amber beacon lights provide a bright warning to motorists. The lights activate in a bright “wig wag” fashion, easily getting the attention of approaching motorists. The system also provides an additional flashing amber light indicating to the pedestrian that the beacon lights are flashing.
