Keeping residents’ safe is one of the most important duties of a city’s council and law enforcement. Choosing products that offer the latest in safety features can help you to ensure you’re doing absolutely everything possible to make safety a first priority. Choosing the most innovative products not only increases safety but also ensures that you’re getting the most benefit from technology. This can decrease your overall cost of doing business by allowing you to utilize technology to its maximum potential, decreasing the workload on your already overburdened staff.
Newer, more technologically advanced traffic warning signals offer superior reliability. These will operate without fail for years. You can even choose solar power on your traffic signals. These will operate using solar power as a primary energy source, to save money on electricity, if you desire. Alternatively, you can use solar energy as a backup source, activating only when the power is out. This is a great safety feature since it ensures that your traffic warning signals are always on- even when the power is not. The signals will automatically revert to solar when needed, with no human intervention required.
New traffic warning signals can be operated using a time clock, too. This allows you to turn the signals off and on, as needed. This feature is perfect for school zone crossings, and other areas that may not need to be operational all the time, but that have large numbers of pedestrian crossings during or motor traffic during certain times of the day.
There are many innovations in traffic products that can help you increase safety and reduce labor costs. Using these new innovations may be the simplest way to help ensure you’re being efficient and cost effective in your endeavors to keep safety and budget at the forefront of your city’s priorities.
