BROWN DEER, Wis., Aug. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Traffic and Parking Control Company, Inc. (TAPCO), manufacturer, distributor, and service provider of traffic safety and parking control products, is excited to announce the launch of VizMark™, a Pavement Marking Enhancement for crosswalk, stop and yield applications.
76% of pedestrian fatalities occur at night, signaling a major need for pedestrian safety enhancements designed for the evening hours (FHWA). VizMark™ is engineered to illuminate pavement markings from dusk-to-dawn, giving motorists an attention-grabbing visual aid to identify the correct stop and yield locations at crosswalks, intersections, light rail applications, trails, roundabouts and more.
Designed with ease of installation in mind, VizMark™ provides communities with the ability to increase the awareness of vulnerable road users without disrupting existing systems or infrastructure. VizMark™ can be pole-mounted with an adjustable bracket to direct the lightbar to desired pavement markings in just a few hours, increasing road user safety immediately. The enhancement can illuminate pavement markings in up to four lanes of traffic without light bleeding into opposing lanes of traffic.
"With such a high percentage of pedestrian fatalities occurring at night, TAPCO recognizes the need for innovative solutions," said Morgan Marks, TAPCO’s Vice President of Innovation. "Our VizMark™ technology is designed with FHWA recommendations in mind, bringing enhanced visibility and roadway compliance to communities nationwide."
VizMark™ Pavement Marking Enhancement can be combined with other systems and enhancements (like TAPCO’s SafeWalk® Crosswalk Illuminator), increasing visibility and elevating pedestrian safety at night. The enhancement is currently available to order, with both solar and AC power options available for flexible configuration.
