Improve Pedestrian Safety
Every day pedestrians are at risk when crossing the street. There are approximately 5,000 pedestrian deaths per year in the United States. This is an alarming problem that needs to be addressed with durable, low cost safety solutions.
The Davidson Green Cross product line
The Green Cross Safety System is able to quickly get a drivers attention by utilizing fluorescent yellow green on the In-Street Pedestrian Signs. Our vertical panels and bases are easy to use and there is something available for every budget. These products include:
- Self-righting Yield-to-Pedestrian on fixed or portable rubber bases
- Self-righting STOP-for-Pedestrian on fixed or portable rubber bases
- Lightweight School Advance In-Street Warning Signs to highlight crosswalk areas
- Reflective STOP paddles
- Reflective red STOP flags
In-street pedestrian crossing signs have the greatest safety impact when used during peak pedestrian use. The Green Cross system is most effective on unsignalized low-speed two-lane streets. The mobility of the Green Cross system allows it to be taken in and out of the street during the school day.
Key Components of the Green Cross Safety System:
- Fluorescent yellow green safety posts
- Flexible, durable signs made of micro-prismatic sheeting
- Portable rubber or fixed bases
