Morgan Marks, Tapco's director of marketing, says the illuminator uses a “flood light on the approach area of the crosswalk and a beam light on the middle — making pedestrians clearly visible and hard to ignore.”

Tapco says the Crosswalk Illuminator activates concurrently with LED-enhanced warning alerts, fits on most intelligent warning system poles and comes with a rugged enclosure to withstand hard weather.

The solution is expected to work in tandem with Tapco’s pedestrian solutions like the Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacons, BlinkerSigns and BlinkerBeacons.

Called SolarLite 2 (SL2), the stud is said to provide visibility of the road geometry up to 900m ahead - a 10 fold increase over reflective studs - and to decrease night-time accidents by over 70%. It uses solar-powered high intensity LEDs which do not rely on vehicle headlights to perform effectively.
