Vision Zero Educational Sign Information
These signs are part of Madison’s Vision Zero safety efforts.
-
LPI — Leading Pedestrian Interval
Cross before cars. This signal gives people walking a head start before drivers get a green light.
-
RRFB — Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
Push, wait, cross. Flashing yellow lights alert drivers so you can cross safely.
-
PHB — Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
Push to cross safely. This special crossing light stays dark until you press the button—then cars must stop.
-
Bike Signals
Follow the bike light. These signals give bikes their own timing through busy intersections.
-
Parking-Protected Bike Lanes
Parked cars = protection. Bikes ride by the curb while parked cars form a buffer from traffic.
-
Bike Boulevards
Bikes come first. These calm neighborhood streets are for biking, not speeding or cutting through.
-
Protected Bike Lanes
Separated for safety. Curbs, posts, or medians create a physical barrier between bikers and cars.
-
Cycle Tracks
Stay in your lane. People biking ride in their own protected space; pedestrians and buses cross with care.
-
Bike Diverters
Bikes enter, cars do not. These barriers slow or redirect cars while letting people biking pass through safely.
-
Contraflow Bike Lanes
Bike both ways. These lanes let people bike safely in the opposite direction of one-way car traffic.
-
Shared-Use Paths
Everyone is welcome. Off-street paths for walking, biking, rolling, and running—just no car traffic.
