Crosswalk Beacons and Signs
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB)
Increase visibility and reduce pedestrian crashes at crosswalks up to 47% with trusted, MUTCD-compliant technology.
Safe and frequent crossings are a key feature of walkable, livable communities—and not just at signalized intersections. Midblock crosswalks and marked crosswalks at roundabouts and other unsignalized locations can provide numerous safety benefits to pedestrians.
The inclusion of RRFBs in the MUTCD 11th Edition (2023), is an exciting step forward for road safety regulations.
The best way to optimize visibility and safety at these crossings is with Carmanah’s MX Series rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB), the R920-MX RRFB

Circular Crosswalk Beacons
Boost crosswalk visibility and driver compliance with ultra-bright, attention-grabbing circular flashing crosswalk lights.
Carmanah’s high-intensity circular flashing beacons are an MUTCD compliant solution that cities across North America have used successfully for more than 15 years. Our new MX Series beacons offer agencies an even safer option, with affordable, instant connectivity.
Enhancing Pedestrian Safety with Connected, High-Intensity Circular Crosswalk Beacons
Circular flashing crosswalk beacons vs. RRFBs
A staggering 78% of pedestrian deaths in 2020 occurred at non-intersection locations. Sixty percent occurred on non-interstate arterials—wide, fast, car-focused streets that bisect neighborhoods where people not only commute but also live, work, shop, and go to school.
Safe crossings are key to reducing pedestrian fatalities in these locations, but they require more than signs and paint. The best solution: well-lit, well-situated crosswalks enhanced with pedestrian-activated beacons that flash to notify drivers when pedestrians are entering the roadway.
Crosswalk Lighting for RRFBs
Increase pedestrian visibility at mid-block crossings with a directional, compliant, and efficient LED crosswalk light.
The number of pedestrian fatalities in North America has risen sharply in the past few years. According to the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), 6,590 pedestrians in the United States were killed in traffic incidents in 2019, the highest number in more than 30 years.
Crosswalk lighting can be added to both RRFBs and Circular Crosswalk Beacons
Though there are many reasons for crashes involving pedestrians (cellphones, alcohol, excessive speed), numerous studies have found that inadequate lighting at or near crosswalks presents a heightened risk to pedestrians crossing the road. The nighttime fatal crash rate on unlit roads is almost twice as high as in well-lit areas, with nighttime crashes accounting for more than 90% of the total increase in pedestrian deaths in the past decade.the R920-MX RRFB

Higher Fatalities on Unlit Roads
Crashes that occur on unlit roads are almost twice as likely to be fatal as those that occur on well-lit roads.

Street Lighting Reduces Night Crashes
Adding street lighting can reduce nighttime crash frequency by up to 40% and crash severity by up to 26%.
