The Florida Department of Transportation activated the first of three pedestrian hybrid beacons that were recently installed on Granada Boulevard between U.S. 1 and State Road A1A in Ormond Beach.
The activation of the PHB at the intersection of Washington Street will be followed by the activation of two other locations on Granada Boulevard, one just west of Beach Street and the other just east of Vining Court.
These signals are designed to enhance safety by helping pedestrians cross the road more safely while increasing driver awareness of pedestrians in the crosswalks.
PHBs remain dark until a pedestrian activates the beacon by pushing a button on the signal pole. Once activated, the PHB alerts drivers to slow down with a flashing yellow signal, followed by a solid yellow. The beacon turns solid red, requiring motorists to stop and allow pedestrians to cross the street safely. The beacon will then flash red, at which time drivers may proceed with caution if the roadway is clear of pedestrians.

The PHBs were installed as part of a larger safety improvement project along S.R. A1A. For more information, visit CFLRoads.com/447105-1.
