CAR COMING Warning Post

Parking exit warning sign and system

Solution

Warns pedestrians of a vehicle exiting a parking facility with Voice Alert and Flashing CAR COMING text and provides a GO SLOW warning to the exiting drivers. 

Description

The CAR COMING Warning Post is four-sided and is designed to be ground mounted near sidewalks and pathways to warn pedestrians and street traffic. The ground post includes a fully-engineered  control system to detect vehicles and activate the post for a duration timer. The post has a volume controlled voice alert. The post is all-weather and ground mounted and is made of 12AWG steel and powder coated a beautiful hammered copper that is architecturally pleasing for your facility.

How the System Operates

A TRIGGERING SENSOR detects a vehicle exiting a parking facility. It sends a signal to the PASS Controller (PSC) inside the System.

The PASS Controller (PSC) activates the system:

  • Voice Alert—”Attention! Vehicles exiting watch for vehicles.”
  • Flashing text (3 sides) – CAR COMING
  • Flashing Text (1 side) – GO SLOW (towards driver)
  • Flashing amber signal

PASS Controller continues to activate the sign for 10 seconds (adjustable) or if a second vehicle activates the system it resets the 10 second timer.

Important Note: If nearby residential is disturbed by the audio alert just request an Audio Cut-Off Timer (see Audio Cut-Off Timer below.)
