Solar Traffic Controls has enhanced its standard RRFB indicator assembly with a red pedestrian indicator facing into the crosswalk. This is being done in response to pedestrians assuming the flashing amber pedestrian confirmation lamp, typically used on RRFB end cap indications, is a sign to proceed into the crosswalk without looking.
Many pedestrians assume the RRFB indications are signaling drivers to stop for them. Thinking about the pedestrian behavior from a driver’s mindset, one does not stop for a flashing amber light but proceeds with caution.
