A rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB) is a pedestrian-activated, high-intensity LED warning light used to supplement signs at uncontrolled crosswalks. This double-sided solar kit ships preconfigured with four beacons (two per side), an integrated 30W solar panel and battery, a 30" fluorescent yellow-green diamond grade pentagon school crossing sign (S1-1), and left and right diagonal arrow plaques. The beacons flash in the MUTCD wig-wag plus simultaneous (WW+S) pattern to alert drivers when a pedestrian is present. Solar powered, with no AC wiring or trenching required. Suitable for uncontrolled mid-block crosswalks, school zones, and trail crossings. Not intended for signalized or stop-controlled intersections.

The Double-Sided Solar RRFB Kit for School Crossings delivers bidirectional, pedestrian-activated warning at the crossings children use most — two-way streets, divided roadways, and median locations along school routes. With beacons facing both directions, one installation alerts traffic from each approach the moment a pedestrian activates the rapid wig-wag flash.

Power is fully solar. A 30-watt panel runs both beacon faces and the activation electronics without trenching or a utility tie-in, so the kit mounts on a single pole and is operational the same day — valuable when work has to fit a narrow window around the school calendar. Sealed battery storage carries the dual-face load through cloudy days and short winter mornings, rated for up to 15 years of service-free operation.

The curbside button is battery-free, with piezoelectric activation that eliminates the dead-button service calls battery-dependent systems are prone to — critical where the device guards a school crossing. The complete assembly is rated from -40°C to +50°C.

This kit meets the MUTCD W11-15 flashing-beacon standard and ships ready to mount: dual-facing beacons, the school crossing sign, an arrow plaque, the activation button, solar assembly, and mounting hardware. Sign sheeting is available in multiple reflective grades, including fluorescent yellow-green for school-zone conspicuity.

System Features

For school districts and the agencies and contractors serving them, the Double-Sided School Crossing RRFB Kit provides two-directional warning at child crossings from a single fast solar install. Free analytics software — no annual license — lets staff configure remotely and pull crossing-activity data to document usage.

Encrypted wireless keeps both faces in sync without wire between them, and the low-profile head keeps the unit unobtrusive on campus and route poles.
