The Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is a 3,000-mile (4,800 km) inland waterway along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts of the United States, running from Boston, southward along the Atlantic Seaboard and around the southern tip of Florida, then following the Gulf Coast to Brownsville, Texas.

A pedestrian crossing a busy roadway without the protection of a traffic signal can be a precarious situation. So as a means to improve pedestrian visibility and safety, the Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) provides awareness to motorists that a pedestrian is present. It allows for a dramatically safer mid-block crossing by increasing driver awareness about pedestrians. This beacon improves safety and reduces crashes between vehicles and pedestrians at uncontrolled, marked crosswalks.

With the fast pace of today’s traffic, it is vital that everyone is aware of the risks to avoid road accidents. Road safety education is vital for individuals of all ages, especially those capable of using roads. As a responsible citizen, you should be aware of each and every rule of the road. Moreover, observation is the key skill you need to develop to ensure road safety.
