The article focuses on pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHB) introduced in the 1990s in the U.S. which has found success in reducing the number of pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Topics covered include the reluctance of some transportation engineers to implement PHB despite its success, and the results of a research project to evaluate PHB by recording driver and pedestrian behaviors at existing sites.
