Carmanah MX Series - School Zone Flashing Beacons & Warning Signs
Even with reduced speed limits, roadways in and around schools are a dangerous place for pedestrians. According to the Transportation Research Board (TRB), more than 100 children are killed in school zones each year, and approximately 25,000 are injured.
While there are many factors influencing these numbers – congestion, obstructed visibility, limited crossings, distracted drivers and pedestrians – clearly communicated speed information is key to reducing them.
Carmanah’s MX Series school zone beacons take the guesswork out of school zone speeds, flashing only when reduced speeds are in effect. Agencies can easily manage their system settings and schedules locally or remotely and can enable email and text alerts so they can have immediate awareness of critical safety issues.
