Kirkland, WA.
The
city of Kirkland installed their first LightGuard System™ of in-pavement
lights in the fall of 1997 at two locations- Central Way and 4th Street
and NE 124th Street at the North Kirkland Community Center (shown in the
photos to the right). The city won a special award from the Washington Traffic
Safety Commission for the project and was so pleased with the performance
of the system that an additional 17 pedestrian crossing locations have now
been selected and treated with the in-pavement lighting system. All of the
systems installed in Kirkland require the pedestrian to use a push-button
to activate the system. For additional information about the sites in Kirkland,
please contact the Traffic Engineering Manager for the City, Mr. David Godfrey at dgodfrey@ci.kirkland.wa.us.
Also visit the City of Kirkland web site at www.ci.kirkland.wa.us.

Santa Rosa, Fort Bragg, Lafayette, West Hollywood, Willits, Orinda,
Petamula, CA
Reno/Tahoe International Airport
