October was Pedestrian Safety Month as well as Community Planning Month. Below is just one example of the projects from ITE Public Agency members that demonstrate the increased emphasis on community planning and pedestrian safety.

City of Parsons’ Connected RRFB Boosts Safety and Efficiency

City of Parsons, KS, USA

This past July, the City of Parsons, KS partnered with Gades Sales Company to install a new pedestrian-activated warning device at a well-used crosswalk linking two sides of the community. The system, manufactured by Carmanah Technologies, is the first of its kind to be installed anywhere in the world. Although it resembles the rectangular rapid flashing beacons (RRFBs) now ubiquitous at midblock crosswalks, Parson’s RRFB has one key differentiator: built-in remote connectivity. That means that in addition to increasing crosswalk visibility, yield rates, and pedestrian safety, the device allows city personnel to manage their assets remotely, including monitoring battery health, changing settings, and enabling alerts that ensure optimal uptime and safety.

Submit an abstract for the Joint ITE International and Mid-Colonial District Annual Meeting and Exhibition, being held July 21–24, 2024, in Philadelphia, PA, USA. The theme for is Creating Safer, Smarter Mobility.
