Solar Powered LED Stop Signs are being used in more public and private applications over standard Stop Signs because they offer the combination of renewable energy and LED brightness proven to enhance auto and pedestrian safety. Solar Powered LED Stop Sign benefits:
*Easy to install.
*Reduces intersection accidents.
*Enhanced driver visibility especially in bad weather conditions.
*Increased driver compliance with less roll through violations.
*Long life operation with zero carbon emissions and no electricity use.
The Federal Highway Administration circular FHWA-SA-09-006 sites a 2004 study on the safety effects of LED Stop Signs conducted by the **Texas Transportation Institute which found:
*There was a 28.9 percent reduction in the number of vehicles not stopping.
*A 52.9 percent reduction in the number of vehicles moving through the intersection without significantly slowing down.
