The city of <strong>Canal</strong> <strong>Winchester</strong> installed a<br />
pedestrian activated Rectangular Rapid<br />
Flashing Beacon along Groveport Road<br />
near Thrush Drive. This new signal further<br />
marks the crosswalk and increases<br />
driver awareness. RRFBs consist of two,<br />
rectangular-shaped yellow indications,<br />
each with a solar-powered LED light.<br />
RRFBs flash with an alternating high<br />
frequency when activated to enhance<br />
conspicuity of pedestrians at the crossing<br />
to drivers. According to the U.S.<br />
Department of Transportation Federal<br />
Highway Administration, RRFBs can<br />
increase motorist yielding rates up to 98<br />
percent and reduce pedestrian crashes<br />
up to 47 percent. This intersection was<br />
selected due to the 35 mph roadway<br />
speed limit; the unimproved roadway<br />
conditions (no curbs/gutters); the minimal<br />
lighting along the roadway; the<br />
commercial nature of the area; and<br />
because it is a bike path. These beacons<br />
are not intended to be installed at<br />
every intersection/crosswalk, as overuse<br />
of RRFBs can diminish their effectiveness.<br />
Pedestrians crossing<br />
Groveport Road in this area can activate<br />
the RFFB by pressing the marked button<br />
on the signal post. The signal can<br />
be activated from either side of the<br />
roadway. Wait for traffic to stop before<br />
entering the crosswalk and be aware of<br />
motorists adjusting to the new signal<br />
pattern. When activated, motorist must<br />
yield to pedestrians until they have fully<br />
crossed the street. Motorists should<br />
check both sides of the roadway to<br />
ensure more pedestrians aren’t<br />
approaching the crosswalk before proceeding.<br />
For more information on the<br />
beacon or other pedestrian safety<br />
measures the city is implementing, contact<br />
Matt Peoples, public service director,<br />
at 614-834-7734.<br />
penalty through March 31. After the deadline,<br />
the cost to purchase a license doubles.<br />
In addition to being required by state<br />
law, dog licensing ensures that any lost dog<br />
is returned quickly to their owners. License<br />
fees help support the Franklin County Dog<br />
Shelter and Adoption Center.<br />
Lockbourne Council<br />
Lockbourne Village Council meets the<br />
