Advance Warning Flashers: Guidelines for Application and Installation

Until this new guide was released, no set practice or uniform guide for the application and implementation of Advanced Warning Flashers (AWFs) existed in Canada. As a result, there was a wide range of practice in the use of AWFs across the country. TAC was interested in consolidating the best available knowledge and developing a national guideline for the application and installation of AWFs. TAC's new publication, Advance Warning Flashers: Guidelines for Application and Installation, presents the results of the process to develop these new guidelines. Users should note, however, that the report focuses on dynamic systems interconnected to traffic signal operations and does not include continuously flashing signs or beacons.
