Intersection Crossings

The Ohio River Trail Council supports the installation of innovative traffic safety technology designed to help motorists and bike path users coexist more safely. These early warning systems for recreational path and public road intersections provide an advance, active alert to approaching vehicles that path users are at or near the intersection. The combined technologies of motion activation (infrared detection), solar power and radio communication make these systems an affordable safety solution.

Cross Alert Systems

Cross Alert Systems manufactures and sells solar powered, motion activated, radio-controlled enhanced warning signals for recreational trail/public road intersections. The Cross Alert system enhances visibility at bike path (or other recreational path) and public road intersections. This device is ideal for mid-block crossings. Our system is an active warning system that flashes only when path users are at the intersection. The Cross Alert system is used at intersections where signals to stop vehicular traffic are not indicated, but an active warning system could provide enhanced safety where sight distances are poor or the view of the path is obstructed. The system does not alter the flow of vehicular traffic, but provides a forewarning to oncoming vehicles that path users are near or at an intersection.
