The WalkFirst Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons Project will construct new pedestrian activated rectangular rapid flashing beacons at ten locations. All new flashing beacons constructed by this project will include accessible pedestrian signals. New curb ramps will be constructed at certain locations where they are missing to help provide an accessible path of travel onto and off of public sidewalks.
Three of the ten project locations are on the Vision Zero High Injury Network. The flashing beacons are intended to increase visibility of pedestrians. They are also intended to increase the rate of drivers yielding to pedestrians.
The project is funded by SFCTA Proposition B.
