BlinkerSign® Wildlife Warning Signs and Beacon Applications There are more than a million wildlife and vehicle collisions nationally every year, according to Washington-based Defenders of Wildlife, with more than 200 of those accidents resulting in human fatalities. (800) 236-0112
http://gotap.co/0bbc Flashing LED lights warn drivers in areas where large animal crossings are common LED lights are extremely bright, properly alerting drivers during the day and night BlinkerSign® Wildlife Warning systems can be integrated with existing collared systems or thermal sensing systems to sense movement from any large animal, such as bears, deer, elk, caribou and moose The signs can flash 24 hours a day, can be turned on manually via a toggle switch or key fob, set for dusk-to-dawn or desired intervals, including migration periods BlinkerSign® LED Wildlife Warning Systems can be programmed with BlinkLink® Web-based Traffic Device Monitor & Control (see pages 38-39), saving trips to the system location for diagnostics or programming
Wildlife-Vehicle Collisions According to the 2008 Wildlife-Vehicle Collision Reduction Study: Report To Congress the increase in wildlife-vehicle collisions (WVCs) is associated with an increase in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and an increase in deer population sizes in most regions in the United States. More than 98% of WVCs are single-vehicle crashes 89% of WVCs occur on two-lane roads WVCs occur more frequently on low-volume roads Compared to all motor vehicle collisions, WVCs occur more frequently on straight roads with dry road surfaces WVCs occur more frequently in the early morning (5–9 a.m.) and evening (4 p.m.–12 a.m.), when deer are more active and traffic volume is relatively high
The vast majority (as high as 90% in some states) of reported WVCs involve deer WVCs occur more frequently in spring and especially in fall, when animals move around more due to migration, mating, or hunting seasons White-tailed deer-vehicle collisions are associated with diverse landscapes with abundant edge habitat (transitions from cover to more open habitat) and riparian habitat

Powered by an eco-friendly solar panel, BlinkerSign® LED signs deliver their message day and night. Ideal for highincident areas or where new traffic conditions exist. The TAPCO patented AutoBright™ circuitry measures the available light every 15 minutes and adjusts the LED flash brightness accordingly. Installs easily onto new or existing sign posts and poles. ◼◼Can be integrated into an ITS (Intelligent Transportation System) ◼◼Can be programmed to operate 'round-the-clock, off time clocks, push buttons and/or vehicle motion detectors ◼◼Multiple signs can be synchronized ◼◼Heightens driver awareness ◼◼Anti-graffiti film overlay and anti-vandalism hardware ◼◼Easy installation ◼◼Proprietary AutoBright™ circuitry ◼◼LEDs surrounding border offer greater square footage of light for driver & provides symbol awareness ◼◼Unlimited activation capabilities PATENTS #6,943,698 AND #6,693,556 (OTHER PATENTS PENDING)
Custom BlinkerSign® BlinkerSign® LED signs can be fabricated with any MUTCD legend, but sometimes a non-standard sign is necessary to convey your message. TAPCO will custom tailor the right sign, activation and power system to suit the application. We have years of custom sign and system design, and our in-house technical team is there for you after installation–we stand behind our systems.
The right solar panel for your location and application By combining site-specific shading data with published global weather data, TAPCO creates an accurate solar site analysis. This data can then be applied to your BlinkerSign® system or other solar applications.

LaneLight™ In-Road Warning Lights
LaneLight™ In-Road Warning Lights In-pavement lights alert motorists to the presence of pedestrians crossing or preparing to cross the street. The amber lights are embedded in the pavement on both sides of the crosswalk and oriented to face oncoming traffic. In-road LED markers produce a bright, daytime-visible light focused directly in the driver's line of sight (800) 236-0112 http://gotap.co/0bbc clearly indicating the curve, hazard, crosswalk, variable lane, or lane edge. This requires no interpretation by the driver resulting in increased visibility. When the pedestrian activates the system, either by using a pushbutton or through detection from an automated device, the lights begin to flash in unison, warning the motorist that a pedestrian is in the vicinity of the crosswalk ahead. The flashing LEDs shut off after a set period of time, i.e., the time required for a pedestrian to safely cross the street. In-road flat profile is snowplowsafe and bike-safe Viewable range of 3,000 ft. Maintenance-free design Automatic night dimming Standard or enhanced flash Variety of activation devices and methods Environmentally friendly
Red, yellow, green or white LEDs available Solar-power option Ideal for mid-block locations Stop bars MUTCD compliant 5 year warranty
Industry leading 3 million candela/m² LED output for full daytime visibility

Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon (RRFB) Crosswalk LED Warning System
Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacon RRFB-XL2™ Crosswalk LED Warning System Rectangular rapid flash beacons are user-activated amber LEDs that supplement warning signs at intersections without signals or mid-block crosswalks. Two arrays of alternate flashing LEDs use an irregular flash pattern (similar to emergency flashers on police vehicles), commanding the attention of drivers day and night. The RRFB has been shown to provide an 80% improvement in Yield-to(800) 236-0112 Pedestrian traffic, exceeding http://gotap.co/0bbc that of standard beacons. As 110VAC Solar a low cost alternative to traffic signals, it's no wonder why RRFB POWER POWER systems are taking the country by storm! The RRFB units install easily onto new or existing signal poles. TAPCO can provide complete systems with poles and hardware. The Federal Highway Administration requires RRFB systems be used solely for pedestrian or school crossings, and must be pedestrian activated.

School Zone Applications
School Zone Applications Protecting children on route to school is a high priority. Across the country high speed roads surround schools making it increasingly important drivers are aware of pedestrian activity. BlinkerSign® flashing LED signs boost awareness with bright flashing LEDs. Add the time clock controller option, and signs can be programmed to flash at specified times, typically during morning student drop-offs, afternoon student pickups and during special events. Running signs only when most necessary increases driver response (over 24 / 7 flashing systems) and the neighborhood residents will appreciate it. ◼◼School Zone BlinkerSign® systems can be activated by unlimited options using solar power and wireless technology offering a low cost, low labor option for customers ◼◼Great option for dangerous school routes or busy roundabouts ◼◼Federal funding is available if crossing is a school route location ◼◼Call TAPCO with your location drawn out and amount of traffic known, and TAPCO can help customize your crossing

A TAPCO LED-enhanced BlinkerSign® advances the concept of driver feedback to a new level of effectiveness. At the core of each unit lies a LED Radar Driver Feedback Sign with two LED enhanced signface options to choose from: "SPEED LIMIT XX, YOUR SPEED" enhanced with six white LEDs around signface perimeter. The LEDs flash when the speed limit is exceeded. "SCHOOL, SPEED LIMIT XX WHEN FLASHING, YOUR SPEED" enhanced with six white LEDs around signface perimeter, and four amber LEDs surrounding "SCHOOL". An added programmable time clock allows scheduling for the amber LEDs (typically set to flash continually during times when school children are present or during school functions). The white LEDs flash when the speed limit is exceeded.
Both signface options increase the overall visibility to over one mile (line of sight). With the added benefit of solar power, this sign can be easily installed and deployed in minutes without the need for expensive trenching and electrical work – extremely effective, easy to set up and program.
