Crosswalk Illumination

Don't let low light get in the way of student safety

Dark mornings and early sunsets shouldn’t put students at risk. SafeWalk® Crosswalk Illuminators automatically light the crosswalk when a pedestrian is detected in low light, while illuminated signs keep crossings visible from dusk to dawn.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we choose the right measures for our school zones?

Every school zone is different, so start by identifying its specific risks, location, and environment. Our guide, Building a Safe School Zone Environment, walks you through the steps and shows which systems address which safety concerns. Our in-house experts can also help you build a tailored plan, and we offer free site evaluations.

Do we need Smart Hub?

Your systems will still work without it, but Smart Hub saves you time and gives you confidence they’re running exactly as intended. Smart Hub is what lets you manage your systems remotely, check status and health anytime, easily access data reporting, and schedule operation to match your school zone hours.

Are the systems MUTCD-compliant?

Yes, all of our School Zone Systems are MUTCD-compliant.

Can the systems follow the school calendar?

Yes. Schedule activations in advance in Smart Hub, adjust in real time for early dismissals and snow days, and see when schedules were overridden.

What about speeding, not just crossings?

Speeding is a common problem in school zones. Radar Speed Signs calm traffic in reduced-speed zones where drivers need to pay close attention. BlinkerRadar pairs these signs with beacons that flash at speeding drivers, giving them a warning they can't miss. The signs also collect traffic data, so you can measure results and see exactly where and when additional measures may be needed.
