BACKGROUND The Tampa Bay region, including the City of St. Petersburg, has been identified by the Surface Transportation Policy Partnership in their “Means Streets” reports since 1995 as one of the worst urban areas in the country for pedestrian safety. The City considered this unacceptable and immediately started to take steps to improve conditions for pedestrians. Countermeasures have included the evaluation of solar-powered, radio controlled, pedestrian-activated, LED Rectangular Rapid Flashing amber Beacons, (RRFB) mounted under pedestrian crosswalk signs at 19 existing uncontrolled crosswalks.
