San Francisco City Hall - Smart Crosswalk™
December / 2010
End of Year Summary

Greetings!  

This has been a very busy year for us with numerous Smart Crosswalk Systems installed throughout the United States. The response by the public at each of our installations has been very positive.

We have an interesting mix of In-Roadway Warning Light (IRWL) crosswalk system installations in such diverse locations such as Universities, hospital campuses, military bases, corporate center facilities, parking garages, as well as the typical mid-block crossing.

We've included a few comments from installing contractors and municipal traffic supervisors, as well as from end users. Below is a selection of installations that have occurred over the last few years.

Smart Crosswalk Systems Installation Sites


New Mexico State University - Alamogordo

At College and University campuses,  our crosswalk systems are an essential traffic
NMSU IRWL Crosswalk calming measure for pedestrian safety. For example, at NMSUA  the school president, Dr. Cheri Jimeno said "These systems are very effective in making a safer crosswalk for our pedestrians."

Student Testimonial: "My name is Sarah Aragon, and I was given a great opportunity to speak on behalf of the student's perspective and opinion on the Smart Walk. I feel it has been one of the best contributions to this campus! It is very effective on warning drivers to slow down when they see the yellow blinking lights, and it is an even greater benefit when students, faculty, and staff are crossing at night! Every busy school intersection should have one."

Hobby Airport - Houston, Texas

A new In-Roadway Warning Light system (IRWL) is now guarding the path for pedestrians and attracting attention from drivers at William P. Hobby AirpoHobby Airport IRWL Crosswalkrt (HOU). The Smart Crosswalks system includes a series of fourteen separate pedestrian crossings embedded with lights, located in front of the airport terminal and the parking garage. The system is designed to augment public safety and provide more efficient and orderly movement.

"We have quite a bit of traffic in that area of the airport and this was a project to enhance safety for those on foot and make drivers more aware," says Mary Case, airport manager for Hobby Airport. "We understand what it is like to make your way through the airport environment while traveling with small children, those needing extra assistance or just a lot of luggage, so this new lighting system should make getting to and from the terminal and garage a little easier, which makes it a safety and customer service plus for the airport," says Case.

Comments from City Traffic Managers and Installing Contractors

Larry Garner, Street Superintendent, City of Alamogordo, recently wrote us, "The lights up at the College are doing great. During the day they are very noticeable and by night - wow! They have been very effective for slowing people down and letting them know someone is in the crosswalk. I would and will tell anyone who asks that I would endorse your system that it is very effective in what it was installed for."

Mike Pohlman, RJ Nickles, Inc., installing multiple IRWL systems for  American Family Insurance Company in Madison Wisconsin this last November:
"I just wanted to drop you a line and express my appreciation for the outstanding support we received from you and your staff, during our LightGuard system installation at the American Family Insurance headquarters, here in Madison Wis. All of the necessary materials and equipment arrived in good shape and on a timely basis. Prior to and continually throughout the installation process it was almost like your guy, Bud Brunkow, was right there with us supervising the installation. He made us feel like we were his one and only customer! His willingness to communicate with us whenever we needed him gave us the confidence we needed to perform a very successful installation. We are looking forward to more opportunities in the future to work with you and your people at LightGuard Systems. Thank you very much!! And Happy Holidays to all!!"
