HOW TO USE AN RRFB
(Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon)
Motorists
Always stop for pedestrians and bicyclists at crosswalks.
Anticipate pedestrians crossing when approaching an RRFB.
Never pass another vehicle that has stopped or is slowing down at a crosswalk.
Always stop before the stop bar (line) pavement markings.
Never stop in or block a crosswalk.
Always stop for pedestrians entering or in a crosswalk.
Remain stopped for pedestrians regardless of activated RRFBs.
7. Wait for pedestrians to completely clear the crosswalk on your side of the road, and for anyone crossing into your lanes from the other direction.
RRFBs use an irregular flash pattern that is similar to emergency flashers on police vehicles.
