New Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Installed Adjacent to Edwards Lifesciences Campus

The City of Irvine is installing a new traffic control device to help make crossing busy streets easier for pedestrians. This new device is called a pedestrian hybrid beacon or PHB and provides pedestrians a safer crossing alternative that traditional crosswalks, especially in mid-block locations that are heavily traveled by pedestrians. And, because the devices are only activated when a pedestrian is present, drivers experience minimal delays.
