Start with the street
Chapter 4L puts an assembly on both sides of the road for every approach. Totals are hardware only, before posts and installation.
Back-to-back crossing
- 4 beacons on 2 posts, facing both ways
- 4 crossing signs, 4 arrow plaques
- 2 push-button signs
- About $3,898 in hardware
Median, advance or replacement

Beacons, signs and plaques
Each post carries a crossing sign, the beacon under it, a W16-7P arrow under that, and an R10-25 sign by the button. Prices as of September 2026.

School crossing? Swap the W11-2 for an S1-1 school crossing sign (from $56.99). Kits do not include posts; the standard hardware fits 3 to 4 in posts.
The RRFB mounts between the crossing sign and the arrow plaque
That is the order MUTCD Section 4L.02 calls for: crossing sign on top, beacon under it, W16-7P arrow below. The beacon bands to the existing sign post, with the control box behind it and the solar panel at the top. No conduit, no trench and no power drop, so most crossings go in with a bucket truck and hand tools.
Press the button on either side and both beacons flash together, then stop 60 seconds later. A full charge runs up to 12 hours of flashing.
Why agencies choose RRFBs
FHWA lists the RRFB as a Proven Safety Countermeasure, and the MUTCD 11th Edition gives it its own chapter. Our complete RRFB guide walks through the placement rules, costs and installation.
Up to 47%Fewer pedestrian crashes, from FHWA's crash modification research
Up to 98%Driver yielding in the best case; it varies with speed, lanes and crossing distance

Questions we get
Where can an RRFB go?
Only at a marked crosswalk on an uncontrolled approach, supplementing a W11-2 pedestrian, S1-1 school or W11-15 trail crossing sign. Not where a STOP sign, YIELD sign, signal or pedestrian hybrid beacon already controls the approach, except at roundabout crosswalks and free-flow turn lanes separated by an island.
What does a complete crossing cost?
For hardware, about $2,720 for a one-way street and $3,898 for a two-way street, including the crossing signs, arrow plaques and push-button signs. Posts and installation depend on the site.
Do I need a sign and beacon on both sides?
Yes. Chapter 4L calls for two assemblies per approach, one on the right and one on the left, or in the median on a divided road. On a two-way street each post carries beacons facing both directions.
How long does it flash after the button is pushed?
Our systems flash for 60 seconds after each press, and pressing again restarts the timer. The MUTCD ties the flash time to how long a pedestrian needs to cross, so tell us the crossing width when you order.
RRFB or HAWK signal?
An RRFB is a yellow warning beacon under a crossing sign and does not stop traffic. A HAWK, or pedestrian hybrid beacon, hangs over the road and shows red. RRFBs suit multilane crossings under 40 mph; faster, wider roads may need a HAWK. We supply RRFBs, not HAWKs.
Tell us the crossing, we will build the kit
Send the street type, the sign you need (pedestrian, school or trail) and the sign size. We will come back with the beacons, signs and plaques for the whole crossing.
