NEW VIDEO: Don't be a Scott, know the pedestrian hybrid beacon
|
|
|
Don't get caught not knowing how to use a PHB, especially on a first date!
|
|
|
Pedestrian hybrid beacons (PHBs) may surprise you in the middle of a road, but don't let them catch you off guard. Fortunately, the City of Austin's latest video shows not only how to use a PHB but also how to improve your dating game. PHBs are pedestrian-activated warning devices which help people safely cross where there isn't a traffic signal. Learn more about PHBs and how to request one near you at AustinTexas.gov/PHB.

"People watching is fun. Watch for pedestrians on the road." Thanks, Vincent Sellers, for this great safety message!

Austin road users may have seen some eye-catching words about pedestrian safety on our dynamic message signs (DMS) lately. This latest message comes from Vincent Sellers, a winner in our #OntheRoadATX contest last spring when ATD asked Austinites to submit their most clever safety messages. Congratulations, Vincent!
