Bike 'n Roll to School Day
The City of Frisco is committed to ensuring pedestrian safety within our community. In a partnership with FISD, the Engineering Transportation Division, Police, Fire and Play Frisco encourage families to Bike ‘n Roll together. It’s a great opportunity to spend quality time together and practice proper bicycling and pedestrian safety habits.
While May 8 is this year's official National Bike 'n Roll to School Day, schools in Frisco are hosting events in May that best fit their schedules. Bike 'n Roll to School Day events promote bicycle safety and celebrate the joy of active commuting.
Learning and practicing proper pedestrian habits are important life skills. With students returning to school, keep an eye out for the school zone flashing lights both in the morning and in the afternoon. Watch a Pedestrian Safety video and learn tips to help students get to school and back home safely. Together, we can make our community a safe place to Walk ‘n Roll.
Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon
A new type of traffic control device was installed, adjacent to Maus Middle School, to enhance safety for pedestrians crossing Coit Road at Hay River Trail. The new signal is designed to improve safety for pedestrians while minimizing delay to motorists. A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) differs from a pre-timed traffic signal or flashing beacon because it remains inactive or dark until activated by a pedestrian. PHBs help increase driver awareness to pedestrians crossing the roadway. View a user guide for drivers and pedestrians (PDF).

Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon
A Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) is a supplemental warning device that alerts motorists of a pedestrian crosswalk and to yield to pedestrians. The RRFB uses rectangular yellow lights that flash in a rapidly alternating or flickering sequence when activated by a pedestrian. The lights flash for a set time to allow a pedestrian adequate time to cross the street. Read more about this supplemental warning device (PDF).
