“LightGuard has proven to be the best product for the City and we will only accept these products in City streets. We currently have two installations and will be retrofitting a third with this product. The two installations are at Monterey and Fourth St. and a solar powered installation at Nash and Monterey. The third will be on Sunset Drive at the hospital entrance and will replace another company’s installation that has failed. This will insure that we will stock only one manufacturer’s replacement parts.”
— David Rubric P.E., P.L.S., Interim Engineering Manager/City Engineer
“Since we installed the LightGuard Systems in-roadway warning lights and LED signs at pedestrian crossings, we’ve seen an increase in motorist yielding and a positive effect in the overall safety of our travelers.”
— Jimmy Jackson, Electrical Supervisor, Dallas Love Field Airport
“LightGuard Systems’ TraxAlert™ ‘Lit Up’ the 7th St. RR Grade Crossing in Elk City, Oklahoma. Representatives from several agencies, including Volpe National Research Center, Farmrails, City of Elk City, and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT), held a demonstration. This illuminating event commemorates the first installation and study of TraxAlert™ LED in-roadway warning lights (IRWL) used at a RR Grade Crossing in Oklahoma.”
“The LightGuard crosswalk systems are very effective at making a safer crosswalk for our pedestrians.”
— Dr. Cheri Jimeno, President, NMSU
“Studies over the last several years demonstrate that in-roadway warning lights cause drivers to brake sooner when approaching the crossing and significantly increase the percentage of drivers who yield to pedestrians.”
— University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center
“The airport’s Smart Crosswalk System from LightGuard Systems also uses flashing LED lights to catch the attention of motorists. The lights line each side of the crosswalk and are hardwired into the pavement. The rate of the flashing lights trade named as Enlighten1, was developed in cooperation with the University of California, Berkley’s Vision Detection Laboratory to capture and hold drivers’ attention.”
— John Stout, Airport Manager, Sonoma County Airport
“Tonight I was driving a car southbound on Miller, approaching the uplit crosswalk, and it fired up and started blinking. I couldn’t see anyone crossing the street but slowed to a stop anyway. Moments later I saw a person in dark clothing crossing the street in the crosswalk. “I suspect that you had something to do with the putting in of the crosswalk uplights. I thought of you when encountering the activated crosswalk and wanted to let you know that they helped as a lifesaver tonight.”

“Motorists can see those (LightGuard) lights flashing down the road, maybe even before they see the pedestrian.”
— Rick Pedroncelli, Rohnert Park senior engineer
“During construction of the most recent phase (9 intersections) the city received great support from the crew at LightGuard when we had questions about proper installation and inspection of traffic calming solutions. The city has been highly pleased with the performance of the system most of which are now between 2-3 years old.”
— Sue Kelly, City Manager
“The lights up at NMSUA 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.”
— Larry Garner, Street Superintendent, NMSU
“On behalf of the student’s perspective on the LightGuard Smart Crosswalk, I feel it has been one of the best contributors to this campus! It is very effective at warning drivers to slow down when they see the amber blinking lights, and it is an even greater benefit when students, faculty and staff are crossing at night. Every school intersection should have one.”
— Sara Aragon NMSU Student
“The IRWL lights flash automatically, activated by the approaching train. First the red IRWL flash in a quick strobe pattern, then remain on until the train clears the track crossing zone. The amber lights continually flash for the duration of the train crossing. These devices are an effective system reducing accidents that occur on a regular basis at railroad crossings across the country.”

“Flashing lights border the crosswalk at Riverside Drive and Ranchito Avenue in Sherman Oaks. It was unveiled last month as part of an effort by transportation planners to find better ways to protect pedestrians as city streets grow ever wider and busier. Now, thanks to what transportation planners call a "smart crosswalk," a pedestrian at the Ranchito Avenue intersection where the mall and bus stop are located might feel more like Moses parting the Red Sea. As soon as someone steps up to the curb, bright lines of yellow lights, planted in the asphalt along the boundaries of the crosswalk, flash up from the street, while more lights flash from the sidewalk.”
— Sharon Bernstein. Los Angeles Times
“The FHWA decided on the language and inclusion of IRWL technology in the Millennium Edition of the Federal MUTCD. As a result of Michael Harrison’s vision and years of persistence, LightGuard Systems® Smart Crosswalk™ in-roadway warning light (IRWL) system is a recognized traffic calming standard that no doubt saves lives and prevents injuries across the nation daily.”

“An evaluation of rectangular rapid-flash LED beacons for enhancing pedestrian yield Rates at Multilane crosswalks in St. Petersburg FL, proved to increase drive yield rates by as much as 98%.”
“Smart Crosswalk In-Roadway Warning Lights proved to increase driver yield rates from 20% to 95% by an evaluation by.”
— Whitlock & Weinberger
“As the lighted crosswalk system category continued to grow, LightGuard Systems continued its product innovations with the invention of the Automatic Activation Bollard Sensor pedestrian detection system and flashing LED border-enhanced signs. LightGuard’s President Michael Harrison served on the NCMUTCD in Washington DC in 1999 and helped LED signs be included in the Millennial Edition of the MUTCD.”
“City of Kirkland, Oregon conducted a study on In-Roadway Lighting Systems reported that the devices are effective in both increasing the number of drivers that yield to pedestrians and the distance from the crosswalk where driver apply brakes.”
