Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB)
Your Ideal Solution for High-Speed and Uncontrolled Crosswalks
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) are devices that use LED flashing beacons in combination with pedestrian warning signs to provide a strobe-like high-visibility warning cue to motorists approaching a crosswalk or school zone.

Elevate Crosswalk Safety with the RRFB Pedestrian System
The Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) Pedestrian Crosswalk System is an innovative solution designed to enhance pedestrian safety by alerting drivers in real time when someone is present at a crosswalk.
This highly effective system, compliant with MUTCD standards, boosts driver awareness and has been shown to reduce pedestrian-related accidents by up to 47%, while improving vehicle yield rates to as high as 98% (source: FHWA).
Common Applications for RRFB Systems:
- Mid-Block Crossings: Ideal for areas without traditional traffic signals.
- School Zone Crossings: Provides added protection for students and pedestrians.
- Multi-Lane Uncontrolled Crossings: Improves safety at wide, busy intersections.
LED-Enhanced Warning Alert
The TAPCO RRFB-XL2™ light bars set a new benchmark in pedestrian safety, surpassing traditional industry standards. These extra-large rectangular rapid flashing beacons feature the MUTCD-approved wig-wag plus simultaneous (WW+S) flash pattern, ensuring exceptional visibility for drivers approaching crosswalks.
Engineered for maximum effectiveness, the RRFB-XL2™ enhances driver awareness, making pedestrian crossings safer in any setting. Its advanced flash pattern grabs attention and reduces the risk of accidents, making it a trusted choice for high-traffic or challenging locations.
Arrangement Options
Single-Sided: Includes one RRFB light bar and one sign face.
Double-Sided: Includes two RRFB light bars and two sign faces.
Bulldog Push Button
Activated with less than two pounds of force, the Bulldog push button provides two-tone audible activation confirmation, as well as red LED visual confirmation
- ADA-compliant, vandal-resistant
- Housing components comply with NEMA specifications
- Yellow push button housing standard; black available upon request
iNX Push Button
The iNX push button with touchless iDetect actuation is the next generation of crosswalk accessibility, wireless connectivity and communication. The iNX provides an instructional sign, a push button with directional arrow, a voice message and a yellow LED.
- ADA compliant with adjustable locate tone
- Bluetooth configuration for adjustable parameters
- Field replaceable weather-resistant speaker
- Custom options available
Infrared Bollards
Vulnerable road users passively trigger systems by passing between bollards placed on either side of the crosswalk. The bollards can be AC, solar or battery-operated.
- Capability to determine pedestrian traffic direction
- Range up to 40 feet
- Battery power option requires no in-ground wiring with up to two years autonomy
Thermal Detection
The pedestrian thermal sensor uses infrared heat profiles to identify vulnerable road users moving within targeted detection zones to activate the system.
- Thermal imaging cameras see in total darkness, through shadows and in sun glare, providing reliable detection 24/7
- Versatile functionality dependent upon need, with many possible zones and configurations
- Easily integrates with user-actuated system options
SmartWatch Auto-PXO
The Ramudden Digital SmartWatch System uses video analytics to collect information on pedestrian crossing (PXO) utilization and vehicle compliance while also actuating supplemental flash activation. Even better, the SmartWatch can be retrofitted to nearly any existing PXO, turning them into an intelligent crossing providing both real-time data collection and safety enhancements. Read more here.
- Auto-activation of PXO flash system
- Count and classify road users, including: pedestrians, cars, trucks,
bicycles, and motorcycles - Detect & capture non-compliance events (ie. when pedestrians are present, and lights are flashing, but cars do not stop)
