***IMPORTANT PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK PRODUCT CHANGES FOR THE US ***

In December 2017, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) terminated the Interim Approval for Optional Use of Rectagular Rapid Flashing Beacons. 

This decision does not make the need for safety at pedestrian crossings disappear---so you need another option. 

What can you install instead?

Carmanah's R820 Crosswalk Flashing Beacon is an MUTCD-compliant, pedestrian activated, solar-powered flashing beacon that can be installed anywhere an RRFB could be chosen.
