How Ellensburg's Complete Streets Create Safer Communities In Washington's Kittitas Valley, the City of Ellensburg is transforming its streets through proven traffic calming measures and Complete Streets design. Rather than prioritizing vehicle speed, the city has embraced an approach focused on safety and accessibility for everyone—pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers. At the core of this transformation are advanced pedestrian crossing technology and crosswalk

Enforcing speed limits in school zones remains one of the most critical challenges facing communities today. When drivers ignore reduced speed zones, children face unnecessary danger. But a recent success story from Scarborough demonstrates how modern technology combined with community advocacy is making speed limit compliance more effective than ever. A Community's Victory for Speed Limit Enforcement The Royal Canadian Legion Scarborough Branch number 13 recently achieved a

When it comes to pedestrian safety, visibility is everything. The City of Timmins recently made headlines with its installation of rapid flashing beacons at the Terry Fox Trail crossing on Mountjoy Street South—a significant upgrade that highlights how modern active warning beacons are transforming community safety. Beyond Traditional Crosswalk Lights For years, communities have relied on traditional overhead crosswalk lights to alert drivers to pedestrian crossings. While th

Pedestrian crossing safety depends on more than signs and signals. It relies on clear rules, shared responsibility, and the right infrastructure to support people walking, cycling, and driving. Communities across North America use crosswalks, crossovers, and roundabouts to create safer, more predictable crossings. Understanding how each works helps reduce collisions and supports Vision Zero goals. As municipalities work toward safer streets, the challenge isn't just installin

flashing beacons in the intersection The intersection of Illinois Route 50 and County Line Road tells a story that's becoming all too familiar across North America. Eighteen crashes in a single year. Four lives lost. A community pleading for action. Despite multiple warning signs, rumble strips, and even flashing red lights atop stop signs, drivers continued to miss critical visual cues—often with devastating consequences. The problem wasn't a lack of signage. It was a lack o

A Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) installed at a crosswalk enhances pedestrian safety by alerting drivers to crossing activity. In August 2025, Las Vegas officials completed an RRFB implementation near Arbor View High School after a serious pedestrian incident at that intersection. The new RRFB pedestrian crosswalk system is part of the city’s effort to improve crossings for pedestrians through advanced crosswalk warning technology and high-visibility design. This pr

Lessons from Comox's ICBC Partnership A tree-lined road features clear road safety markings, including pedestrian crossing signs and bicycle lane indicators, ensuring a safe environment for both cyclists and pedestrians. When it comes to pedestrian safety, particularly along busy rural roads and residential corridors, communities across British Columbia are taking proactive steps to prevent pedestrian collisions and create safer crossings for pedestrians. The Town of Comox's
