Crosswalk Flags
Crosswalk Flags
The flag crossing projects improves the visibility of pedestrians at crosswalks by providing high visibility flags located on either side of the crosswalk. Pedestrians pick up a flag on one side of the street and deposit it on the opposite side after crossing. Even when not carried by pedestrians, the flags greatly improve visibility of the crosswalks themselves, thereby increasing driver awareness of these important locations. The map below shows where IFCP has already installed pedestrian flags.
The crosswalk flags consist of ten fluorescent flags and two flag receptacles, on either side of the street, for picking up and depositing the flags before and after crossing. The cost is approximately $50.00 per set and is paid for via our Adopt-a-Flag-Crossing Program, where citizens donate $50.00 to cover the cost for a particular crosswalk.
IFCP would eventually like to install flags at crosswalks all over Idaho Falls because we believe that it is so important for our community to feel safe while walking/running/cycling. We want to help Idaho Falls become an Earth-friendly human powered community with more pedestrians and cyclists than cars on our roadways.
