The lighting of pedestrian crossings must be considered from two perspectives: that of the pedestrian and that of the driver of the vehicle. For the driver, it must provide the right conditions for recognizing the traffic situation, ensuring the visibility of the pedestrian. The pedestrian must be able to see his or her surroundings, the pedestrian crossing itself and approaching vehicles even, or perhaps especially, in conditions of reduced visibility. This is particularly important at pedestrian crossings in particularly difficult locations, such as schools, kindergartens or sports facilities, which are used by children who happen to run into the street suddenly without discerning the situation. Proper illumination of the driver and pedestrian conflict areas is therefore a priority in ensuring that populated areas are as safe as possible.

The SQUARE LED ZEBRA luminaire is three luminaires in one. It is equipped with one square main luminaire, which illuminates the pedestrian crossing continuously and evenly with a strong luminous flux, and additionally with two longitudinal luminaires, equipped with orange light sources, which are activated only when a pedestrian is detected in front of the pedestrian crossing. They can operate continuously, flash, or there is the possibility of installing and integrating motion sensors.  The orange warning light source of the SQUARE LED ZEBRA luminaire increases the illumination level of the pedestrian area, signalling to the driver the approach of the next traffic participant by displaying a beam of orange light in front of and behind the pedestrian crossing. It informs the driver: „Watch out, someone is approaching the pedestrian crossing!”, a solution that increases drivers’ alertness so that those using pedestrian crossings can feel safe.
