Remotely-activated illuminating safety devices and related methods

Abstract

Safety systems for enhancing the visibility of pedestrian crosswalk traffic control devices and related methods. In some embodiments, a plurality of crosswalk safety modules is provided, each of which is configured to be removably coupled with a separate crosswalk traffic control device. Each of the plurality of crosswalk safety modules may comprise one or more lights and/or one or more speakers or alarms, configured to, upon actuation, improve the visibility of a crosswalk traffic control device coupled with the accompanying crosswalk safety module to motorists. The system may further comprise a remote control configured to generate a signal for remote operation of each of the plurality of crosswalk modules. Each of the plurality of crosswalk modules is preferably configured such that actuation of the remote control results in coordinated operation of the lights and/or sounds associated with the plurality of crosswalk modules.
