Huntsville Takes Steps to Boost Pedestrian Safety with New Beacon on Bailey Cove Road

In an exciting move for residents and visitors alike, Huntsville city officials have announced the installation of a brand new Rectangular Rapid-Flashing Beacon (RRFB) on Bailey Cove Road. This is a significant step towards making the bustling area safer for pedestrians, especially those heading to the popular McGucken Park.

When Will It Go Live?

The grand activation is set for March 20 at 9 a.m. but will depend on favorable weather conditions. As long as the skies are clear, you can expect this cutting-edge beacon to start working its magic!

How Does It Work?

The RRFB is designed to boost driver awareness when it comes to pedestrians crossing the road. It will feature high-intensity flashing lights that pedestrians can activate as they reach the crosswalks, effectively alerting drivers that it’s time to yield. This clever design aims to create safer crossing opportunities for everyone.

A Unique Zig-Zag Feature

“zig-zag” pattern has been crafted right in the middle of the road. This innovative design not only helps slow down vehicles but also guides pedestrians and cyclists safely across. If the lights happen to go out during a power outage, this zig-zag island serves as a handy refuge, allowing pedestrians to cross the road in stages. Talk about a smart solution!
