Radarsign CrossCommand RRFB Crosswalk System Introduces Integrated Radar and Traffic Data Collection
What to Know
- Integrates radar technology into RRFBs to monitor vehicle speed and approach behavior at crosswalks.
- Provides traffic data collection to support enforcement, traffic calming, and grant applications.
- Offers optional pedestrian countdown panels to improve crossing clarity and compliance.
KENNESAW, Ga. — Radarsign announced the launch of its CrossCommand RRFB crosswalk system, a radar-enabled pedestrian safety solution designed to combine visibility, traffic data collection and pedestrian guidance in a single installation.
The CrossCommand system integrates radar technology directly into a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB), allowing agencies to capture vehicle speed, approach behavior and driver response at the point of a pedestrian crossing. According to the company, the system is compliant with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 11th Edition and Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements.
The announcement comes as law enforcement agencies and transportation officials continue to address pedestrian safety concerns while managing limited resources and increased accountability for infrastructure spending. By embedding traffic data collection within the crosswalk, the system is intended to provide measurable insights without requiring additional roadside sensors or standalone equipment.
“Communities are being asked to improve pedestrian safety with fewer resources and greater accountability,” said Anna Duckworth, Director of Sales at Radarsign. “CrossCommand™ gives agencies more than flashing lights. It gives them insight to help them make data-informed decisions based on what’s actually happening at the crosswalk.”
Traditional RRFB systems are designed to increase driver awareness but do not typically provide analytics on driver behavior. Radarsign stated that integrating radar into the beacon allows agencies to monitor trends over time, which may support enforcement strategies, traffic calming initiatives and grant justification.
The system also offers optional pedestrian countdown side panels, intended to provide clearer crossing expectations in unsignalized intersections, school zones and high-volume pedestrian corridors. This feature may assist agencies in improving compliance and reducing uncertainty for pedestrians.
“This is not a bolt-on feature or a minor enhancement,” said Nicole Summerlin, Director of Marketing at Radarsign. “CrossCommand™ represents a shift in how crosswalk safety is designed. We are delivering a single system that connects visibility, data, and pedestrian guidance into one cohesive product.”
The CrossCommand RRFB system is available in solar or AC-powered configurations and is designed for single-system installation, eliminating the need for additional infrastructure. For law enforcement and public safety agencies, the ability to pair visibility tools with actionable traffic data may support targeted enforcement, resource allocation and broader pedestrian safety strategies.
