The Police Department is considering of augmentation of existing fixed traffic control signs with an LED style warning component to increase advance warning times and driver accountability.These devices are Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) compliant and are beneficial to help increase safety while maximizing enforcement efforts. Staff is exploring this option and will keep the City Commission informed as this progresses. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Commission review the information and attached informational flyer provided. Attachment A 17 Traffic Safety Corporation 2708 47th Ave. W Sacramento,CA 95822-3806 Toll Free: 888.446.9255 MADE IN USA Tel: 916.394.9884 Fax: 916.394.2809 TS40 Email: sales@xwalk.com TRAFFIC Web: www.xwalk.com Flashing LED Edge Lit Signs SAFETYonp MUTCD Compliant General Description The TS40 conforms to the specifications of the Federal High- way Administration(FHWA) set forth in the Manual on Uni- form Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Using the latest advances in LED technology, the TS40 employs a set of syn- chronized high-intensity LEDs to extend the range of visibil- p ity of the sign during the day or night.Furthermore,the LEDs are flashed,which increases driver awareness of the sign. Why Our Signs are Better High Visibility • Type IX reflective sheeting provides outstanding reflective a brightness,day or night. • High intensity LEDs extend the visibility of the sign under all weather conditions. Superior Performance • Low power LED technology reduces system power con- sumption and operating cost. Outstanding Durability Stop Sign(R1-1) • Highway grade .080 aluminum construction provides resis- tance to corrosion. a G H O O L • The use of highway grade Type IX sheeting helps to main- tain long term reflectivity. SPEED • Stainless steel security fasteners and Tufnut mounting hard- LIMIT ware included to keep the sign secure. • Signs are weatherproof to prevent outside elements from en- tering the internal casing. 15i Features WHEN ! • MUTCD section 2A.07 and 2A.08 compliant. FLASHING • High visibility,low power consumption. • Fast,easy installation,low maintenance. School Speed Limit(S5-1) Double sided configuration • Field adjustable LED flashing duration(30 seconds standard). • Vandal-resistant mounting hardware included. L SIGN LED FLASHING DURATION • Optional battery backup, not affected by local grid power 10 • ADJUSTABLE outages, 12 day autonomy(flashing 24/7). Solar TS40 A solar powered TS40 is available that features off-grid power generation and independent flashing control. Features • Solar powered with battery backup,no AC power required. • MUTCD section 2A.07 and 2A.08 compliant. • Installs easily onto any new or existing sign post. OPTIONAL • High intensity LEDs flash in unison, once per second, comDIMMING AT NIGHT - manding the attention of drivers day and night. • • Activation options: Continuous 24/7 Flashing, Programmable FOR MOTORISTS Timer,or Wireless Push-button.
