 BARLO
Strobes
The
Barlo Safety Beam traffic signal system has been designed
to enhance the normal illuminated red or amber section of
the traffic signal. This is sometimes necessary because of
intense background lighting (visual noise), obstructed approaches,
intersections that have activities that distract the driveršs
attention, obscure railroad crossings, wrong-way warnings
and high speed approaches that tend to deceive the driveršs
perception of distance.
Research claims that everyone is blind to the color red when
it is displayed in a position twenty degree or greater from
their direct line of vision. If a motorist attention is distracted
to the side while the light turns red, they might not see
that change.
It
has been proven that a flashing light is an irritant to the
mind, which causes the eye to turn towards the flash.
This is why the aircraft industry uses strobe lights as anti-collision
devices on all airplanes and taxiways. This is also why the
Barlo Strobe is a very useful tool in reducing traffic accidents.
