A Simple Change for A Big Impact on Safety
First Light funded an efficacy pilot study to see if fully illuminating the octagon of the stop sign made it more effective at preventing illegal passings than traditional retroreflective stop arms.
The results are compelling, with 14 of 15 school districts reporting a measurable reduction in violations and an overall median decrease of 60.2%.
