TAPCO Releases New SafeWalk Crosswalk Illuminator

Traffic and Parking Control Co., Inc., manufacturer, distributor and service provider of traffic and parking control products, announced its new pedestrian safety solution – the SafeWalk Crosswalk Illuminator –  ahead of the 2020 ATSSA Annual Convention and Traffic Expo in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Offering an innovative way for traffic safety professionals to increase nighttime pedestrian visibility, the SafeWalk Crosswalk Illuminator lights up entire two-lane crosswalks at night, when 75 percent of pedestrian deaths occur, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

This first-of-its-kind crosswalk lighting enhancement works in tandem with popular TAPCO pedestrian solutions like Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), BlinkerSigns and BlinkerBeacons. As recommended by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the illuminator lights up crosswalks at a minimum of 20 LUX.
