<strong>Pomona</strong> <strong>Active</strong> <strong>Transportation</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />

November 2012<br />

Chapter 8 – Bicycle and Pedestrian Design Guidelines<br />

A pedestrian hybrid beacon is used to warn and control traffic at an unsignalized location so as to help<br />

pedestrians cross a street or highway at a marked crosswalk.<br />

Benefits<br />

• Can be used at a location that does not meet traffic signal warrants or at a location that meets<br />

traffic signal warrants but a decision has been made to not install a traffic control signal<br />

• Additional safety measure and warning device at uncontrolled location<br />

• Remain dark until activated<br />

Key Design Features<br />

• Minimum <strong>of</strong> 20 pedestrians per hour is needed to warrant installation<br />

• Should be placed in conjunction with signs, crosswalks, and advanced yield lines to warn and<br />

control traffic at locations where pedestrians enter or cross a street or highway<br />

• A pedestrian hybrid beacon should only be installed at a marked crosswalk<br />

Approximate Cost<br />

• $30,000 to $100,000<br />
