A DETECTABLE DEVICE FOR ACCESSIBLE WORK ZONES. PEDESTRIANS ARE SAFER.
As highlighted by the yellow line, SafetyWall’s design does not contain obstacles that protrude intor the walkway. SafetyWall can be used as a single unit, to create sidewalk closures, OR in multiple units, to create continuous, interlocking, longitudinal channelizer arrays. SafetyWall provides safe, continuous, detectable guidance for pedestrians, especially for pedestrians with limited vision or mobility issues.
- Smooth, continuous upper surface for safer hand-trailing.
- Long cane users can tap confidently. Space between bottom and ground is less than 2″; reduces potential for trapped cane tips.
- Accepts pedestrian aids like warning lights and Audible Information Devices.
- Retroreflective sheeting helps guide pedesrtrians safely through work zones.
- Flat vertical surface (the front, as shown) eliminates obstacles, like those found in most barricades.
VERSATILE DESIGN PROVIDES SAFE, CONTINUOUS GUIDANCE FOR PEDESTRIANS

LIGHTWEIGHT, PORTABLE PEDESTRIAN SIGN DESIGNED FOR USE BY SCHOOL CROSSING GUARDS
The NEW Ped-in-a-Bag™ pedestrian safetysign was designed for use by school crossing guards who require a pedestrian safety device that is easily transported and deployed.
Just like with Impact Recovery Systems’ other pedestrian safety signs, the Ped-in-a-Bag supplies enhanced conspicuity at crosswalks- in accordance with the MUTCD, in order to alert motorists to local laws concerning yielding to, or stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. The effectiveness of this unit has been repeatedly supported by independent testing to demonstrate distinct changes in motorist behavior and accident incidence following installation.
FOUR-SIDED PEDESTRIAN MESSAGING CENTER
Omni-Ped provides enhanced conspicuity for both signalized and unsignalized intersections, in order to alert motorists to local laws concerning yielding to or stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks. Omni-Ped’s blow-molded, 4-sided design provides added benefit to pedestrians by providing fully customizable side panels that inform pedestrians of local ordinances or traffic conditions specific to their area. Omni-Ped also alerts distracted pedestrians to the presence of vehicular traffic that could otherwise go unnoticed.
DPI Knows Pedestrian Safety
Our certified road safety experts can help you get it right the first time.A basic requirement of work zone traffic control, as provided in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), is that the needs of pedestrians, including those with disabilities, must be addressed in temporary traffic control plans (TCPs) in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), Title II, Paragraph 35.130. The ADA is a Federal law that requires that pedestrians with physical and/or mental disabilities be accommodated not only in completed, publicly accessible facilities, but also during times of construction or improvement. All pedestrians, including the disabled, should be provided with safe, accessible, and reasonably convenient paths that replicate as nearly as practical the most desirable characteristics of the existing pedestrian circulation facilities when temporary traffic control (TTC) zones are planned and set up.
MUTCD Section 6D.04: If the TTC zone affects the movement of pedestrians, adequate pedestrian access and walkways shall be provided. If the TTC zone affects an accessible and detectable
pedestrian facility, the accessibility and detectability shall be maintained along the
alternate pedestrian route.
